What Would Captain Planet Do?

The Hummer is dead

Or at least it will be soon. When asking Congress for federal aid the automakers pledged to shut down or sell their under-performing divisions, one of which is the Hummer brand. If GM can’t find a buyer (and it’s not looking likely) the company will most likely be eliminated this year.

Of course had the Hummer brand been raking in cash, Congress would have had no problem with the H2 truck’s 9 MPG. While GM doesn’t release the fuel economy information for the engines Hummers use, 9MPG is believed to be a significant improvement over previous models.

So fellow Hummer haters, put your eggs away and please look deep within yourselves to understand the irony of throwing the unborn embryos of animals at inanimate objects in order to champion the environment.

    Hummer H3
    Through 2008, no brand of automobile suffered a greater drop off in sales than GM’s SUV -only brand. GM promised to sell or cancel the brand when the company asked Congress for federal aid last year, but by that time, GM executives had already spent months looking fruitlessly for a buyer. Consequently, Hummer will probably be eliminated outright in 2009.
