Sign in to disble this ad
I keep on hearing these rumors that GM is selling all Hummers at 50% original price. I also vaguely remember skimming through something along this line in the Wall Street Journal. Is this true? Would now be a good time to buy a Hummer?

H2 and h3 can suck it.

The reviews are available on youtube and their web site gives the H3 6 points out of 20 for "Cool" and for handling. <Chuckle> |

No reason at all to purchase a hummer (unless you're into that aesthetic and are ok with 0 gas mileage and having everyone around you look at you in mild disgust). The fact that the brand is sinking is just icing on the cake. |

Seriously tho, I never understood the appeal of that brand...unless you were an aging gym teacher or liked to wear camo all the time...

-Mike | The last I heard, a couple of months ago, a Chinese firm was tinkering with the idea of purchasing the brand. The same Chinese company is also considering buying Buick from GM.

Man, when did we all become a bunch of commie, pinky, tree hugging, leftist, pc softies?

Man, when did we all become a bunch of commie, pinky, tree hugging, leftist, pc softies? | My late fiance had an H2, and I dare say that had she been driving it the day she died rather than the Z-28, she'd probably still be with us. A guy t-boned her in the driver's side after running a red light talking on his cell phone.
Personally, I would not have bought one for myself (not an SUV type) but she loved it.
