For anyone worried about the future of HUMMER!

Just stumbled upon this video. They mention things like "the future expansion of the brand" and etc. Check it out. It put some of my worries to rest. Hopefully Hummer will be around for quite sometime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q45jugF2Z8E

Had a good chat Wednesday with some people at the Hummer dealership in MO. I consider myself lucky to live so close to this dealership, however the proximity was one of the major factors in my buying two Hummers from them. The person I talked to at Lynch said they sold Hummers for AM General before GM bought the brand (H1s), have a large inventory of new and used 1s 2s and 3s and intend on staying in the Hummer business regardless of what GM decides even if it's selling used ones. I'd hate to see the H3 go by the wayside, because the 2009 is refined in so many little ways over the 2006 and I like the Captains seating and flex fuel engine on the new H2. I take some comfort in the Hummer future because the product has improved so much, gas is coming down in price, and the vehicle has a large following (there's still hope someone else might buy the brand)- what GM does with it is out of my control.

ALL car manufacturers are dying. Its not just Hummer. Every car manufacturer is down in sales quite a bit.

Things are quiet at all dealers! I went by my dealer a week ago to look at a 2009 H2 with thoughts of adding it to our 2006 H2 SUT. The last and best of the breed???? I took it for a test drive and I love the new instrument panel and 2008 type seats. I always rest my right arm on the center console and the padded console is another plus.
I also drove one of the 2009 H3s (first time in an H3 & this one had the adventure package) and I REALLY liked it too, much more than I thought I would after years in my H2s. They were ready to make a real good cash/no trade in deal on the H3 and throw in the video head rests for free on the H3. My only qualms are can we fit the two kids and our golden retreiver in the back seat and will the wife want an H2. It rides a little firmer than my H2, but this one had the adventure package and I like the tires that come with that package.
Since this will be for the wife, I need her to drive it too and let her get what she wants, but it would be a big savings over the new H2. I was there about two hours and I was the ONLY PERSON there the whole time except for two people waiting on service on their H3s. I also asked about parts and service if Hummer is discontinued, and he said the warranty would be good at any GM dealer.

I think enough people are still interested in driving these vehicles to last a little while longer.
