So, I searched using the esteemed Google, and found nothing.

The sale to the Chinese company fell through, and Hummer is going down the drain:

It sucks that people will lose jobs, but Hummer is a brand I've long hated, and won't miss for a second.

 

[NomarTyme]

Thank goodness. The car should have stay in the military.

 

[zerostackers]

ironic that china's financing problems are resulting in the loss of an iconic american brand.

 

[perfectchaos007]

God dammit Greenpeace, look what you've done

 

[elitehebrew]

Glad they are pieces of shit IMO. And who really wants a vehicle with such shitty gas mileage?!? Sure richer people can afford it but its all vanity.

3rd GM company to fall too if i'm not mistaken

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

It was alive?

 

[Boonoo]

They never got the chance to make the mini hummer! Think of it! It would have the shape of a hummer, but it would be the size of a mini.
It would be the logical conclusion of their size reductions. It could be the H9 or so.

 

[Forearms]

Good riddance.

 

[EL Beefo]

They were useless ever since they canceled the H1. The H2 and H3 were just giant SUV's made more for the road than the dirt.

 

[DrFunk]

buh-bye

 

[Falch]

The king is dead.

Long live the king:

Indeed. The only other owner should be Arnold.

 

[Axion22]

Something I won't have to apologize to the grandkids for, awesome.

 

[Dresden]

I've yet to meet a decent human being who drives a Hummer. So glad they're gone.

 

[nilbog21]

hummers symbolize everything that went wrong w/ the economy

 

[speculawyer]

God dammit Greenpeace, look what you've done

You idiot.

Greenpeace didn't kill Hummer . . . the free market did. People didn't buy them because they realized they were stupid & wasteful.

Some Libertarian you are. You just don't get it.

R.I.P. America. It was fun while it lasted.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Dammit, Hurley just bought one, too. I guess he's unlucky afterall.

Yep pretty much this.

The only energy efficient vehicle they ever made. :lol

 

[LQX]

So much hate for the Hummer. I thought they were sexy. And still some of best commercials for a car/SUV ever.

Sorry you thought my post was serious

but does it have an LCD screen in the steering wheel?

 

[DMeisterJ]

My dad has a hummer that I drive from time to time.

I quite enjoy it.

 

[Peronthious]

Oh darn.

 

[Darth Pinche]

Hummer is dead? Hillary Duff begs to differ.

 

[harSon]

Oh god, I read the title as "Hammer is dead"!

 

[BlueTsunami]

This is like Ritchie Valens but for the Auto Industry. The day the over sized SUV died.

 

[speculawyer]

How pathetic was GM? They can't even sell old units for peanuts.

Saturn . . . deal fell through.

Saab . . . initial deal fell through, recent deal for a mere $400 million ($74 million of which was cash).

Hummer . . . deal fell through.

 

[Tobor]

Oh god, I read the title as "Hammer is dead"!

That would be a tragedy. This is sweet, sweet justice.

Nice back-pedal. But a joke would have had ;-) You put :-(

Pathetic is correct.

 

[SoulPlaya]

The novelty of the car died a long time ago.

 

[speculawyer]

Pathetic was correct.

Fixed.

C'mon, GM .. . redeem yourself!

So now what will guys who need to compensate pick to drive?

 

[Funky Papa]

The most baffling thing about those road whales is their cramped interior. It still amazes me how they managed to create such an uncomfortable thing given its gargantuan dimensions. It may very well be GM's finest engineering accomplishement.

They wanted Saab? I was disappointed with how Subaru handled them, but Scooby had way more in common with the AWD Saabs than anything GM made. Hell, Saabs handled like Subarus long before they were bought. I used to admire how nicely those ugly-ass cars handled. PEACE.

 

[Escape Goat]

Hummers are alive and well in bus stop bathrooms and gyms around the country.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Oh god, I read the title as "Hammer is dead"!

I did too. Phew.

 

[Always-honest]

thank god. ugly piece of shit.

and damn all the insecure retards that bought it for private use.
