So far they have been very satisfied with the flex fuel engine and we may see some refinements in it. Unofficial word has it the H2 line will start back up this summer.

LATER UPDATE: CNBC is reporting that the agreement with the new investor would curtail production of the international version of the H3 in South Africa and move it to a US facility (Shreveport I would think) and will result in not only saving existing Hummer jobs, but increasing manufacturing and engineering jobs in the United States. The agreement is also said to have language aimed at saving existing Hummer dealerships and service departments worldwide. ..... As Confucius said ..........May you live in interesting times!
