According to an MSNBC article, GM is closing four plants that produce full-sized trucks, SUVs, and Hummers, and are expected to do a complete makeover on the Hummer brand, sell it, or simply stop making it.
Really?
One article I read said that, under "normal" use, a Hummer gets 10 mpg or less.
I'm surprised it's that high!
I'm not generally one to question the intelligence of other people, but who ON EARTH would buy a Hummer just for the "sex appeal?" I mean, where's the "utility" in "sport utility" in this case?
That's what I thought!
I know everyone is different, but the next time I have to scale a 33 degree incline will be the first! I guess someone who lives in Colorado might have use for that feature, but we sure see a lot of these gas-hogs down here on the Gulf coast of Texas....
Not too many 33 degree inclines around here, last time I looked!
Of course, there's always the ability to ford 36" streams without getting wet; we get a few of those from time to time!
About once every 10 years or so.
The silver lining is that people who NEED a full sized truck for a particular task can get one REALLY CHEAP right now!
It's the third horseman of the apocalypse, I'm telling you!!!
