2009 LAST YEAR FOR HUMMER H2- Just Announced from GM 9:30am

[BACKNBLACK]

My Business Partner was just in the Press Conference with GM for the Hummer H2. GM announced that the Hummer H2 Line is done in 2009. Also it was announced that Russia is interested in the Brand and may follow through with the purchase of the brand. I have been a HUmmer owner for 10 years and this is a sad day for me and Iam sure for others that love the Hummer as I.

that's very sad news indeed !!!!

If that's the case, it's time to add an '09 H2 to the stable and keep my '06 (the most trouble free vehicle I've ever owned - one trip for a new BCM). I like the hew instrument panel and new seats on the '09, but miss the trademark "Hummer boobs" in the center of the instrument panel. They probably won't be dealing on the '09s like they were last week! The flex fuel engine is another positive for when fuel prices go back up - now I just need to convince the wife we need another Hummer. This is like loosing a close friend after a long illness. Hummer owners in this forum know what I mean.

the doesn't mean we've seen the last of the vehicle forever. they may bring it back SOMEDAY. Or if someone else purchases the brand, they may produce it. i'm an optimist.

Lets hope so. I have been waiting 3 years for the H1 return but that has not even been talked about yet :-(

Same question I asked. What I heard was the 09's will be the last Model Year. Once again GM seems to change thier minds daily but the press conference was official and top level so I imagine it is decided already.

Call your dealer, they had this announcement yesterday. It is not public yet so call it BS if you may. As soon as its announced you will see the reports. Iam not one who spreads BS. If my Business partner was not in the meeting himself I would scream BS as well. I own a HUmmer Club, Iam part of Hummer Hope and have owned 9 Hummers more than most of the people on this site. Your dealers may deny the claim however GM will announce it soon.

GM DISCONTINUES HUMMER BRAND- GM

[Intercooled]

Id like to see the reports too, when they come out. It makes sense, since GM wil be recieveing that massive government loan they need to act quick with some major decisions on how they are reforming. Cutting H2 production is an easy no brainer and shows how they are reforming thier ways and are committed to being greener and more responsible.
I hate political correctness and this is disgusting.

[marius]

I live very close to the factory and have friends that are in the engineering department at the H2 AMG plant.
The line is shut down, Friday was the last production day. All the parts have been used for matched sets that went through the line during this last week.
The production went down to 23 per day and almost exclusively went to export.
The infrastructure and labor costs are so high that anything under 70 units per day is in Red. There was no way to make it work, the H2's don't sell.

well that gives me very strong argument to buy one before they're gone.. sad news though

[HummerMann]

I've been looking at the new 2009 H2s and the '08s remaining, and my dealer said the same thing last week on the H2. "What's out there now is it!"

[vette94h@yahoo.com]

I have owned over twenty G.M. products over the years. The reason I love my H2 so much, is the fact of the vehicle being different. G.M. should sale Hummer's at Cadillac dealers. Why would G.M. keep GMC around? That whole division is just another Chevy.....
