WHATS HAPPENING

[nychot]

it seems just by the limited postings and lyyle frequency of postings that interest in ye olde hummer is one the wane. i guess fewer people are buying -- well 40% fewer, and those who are buying aren't internet savvy or just dont care about getting more info. anyway, my opinion is that the hummer brand will eventually be sold by gm -- they hope soon, and the vehicle will be sold on a far more limited basis. i'll bet and indian or chinese automaker buys it because they can be sold in third world countries for off road use. i think the hummer brand is dead here with gas prices and the reawakening of interest in quality gas-saving small cars with either all wheel or front wheel drive. we just picked up the brand 09 jetta sportswagen, a pocet rocket with great space and comfort. the hummer goes when our lease runs out end of year. we also have a vw beetle convert, new. we loved the hummer, werent off-roaders, but love the look. i think the majority of hummer owners are in the same category. only a very small minority are offroaders and hummer lifestylers.my .02
