GM has put its Hummer brand up for sale

I was thinking the exact same thing, Since Gm doesnt own h2 we may see them for years to come.

Would be impressive to see cat in hummers, although i think they are right about the price going up only on h2's i think that if they would put cats in the h1 it would be more purpose driven and not all fancy and overpriced like the alpha so it would end up being cheaper or equal in price.

Hummer Guy or H3Builder can set us straight on this, but it is my understanding GM bought the name and distribution rights from General and also provides engines, frames and subassemblies through their providers, such as American Axle but AM General does the assembly on the H2 in Indiana and provides limited components. I don't think AM General provides anything for the H3.
The big cost here is distribution, maintenance and parts and GM felt its dealership network would boost sales when they bought the brand, and initially they did. We all complain about "stealership" prices, but it costs a lot of money to maintain the infrastructure for a vehicle that is sold throughout the US and worldwide.
I believe we know nothing about the real Hummer goings on right now. I feel strongly it was a mistake to announce the brand up for sale publicly and thereby crippling dealers.

You've got it right -- AM General puts the H2 together w/ GM parts -- that's the extent of their current involvement with the HUMMER brand other than handling the warranty issues on H1s.

I would love it if AM Genral bought back HUMMER

my lease expires in december-january. gm's already calling me trying to convince me to buy it OR extend my lease. i told them i'd consider extending for another year for $150-a-month less than the $490 and change (including state tx) i'm now paying. they said they'd knock $100 a month off. or knock off $7000 from the residual price if i bought it. i said NOT enough. and they said we'll get back to you. i though it was hysterical. gm clearly doesnt want any part of leased turn ins because THEY cant get rid of them, according to the GM agent who called me. by the time my lease expired in with the way the gas prices, the economy and gm in general are going i should be able to do even better. LOL, i love it. i'll just keep the hummer around for when i need it, and drive our way more fuel efficient cars regularly. hummer isnt a lifestyle for us, but just a cool-looking ride. with the $7000 iff, i'd be paying about $20k for the vehicle. its just a 2 year lease. i think $20 is too high. its worth $15k to me. i love having gm by the balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The latest word according to FOX news is NO GM brand will be sold, they are just going to make major cuts in other areas.
