"Sales within the Hummer brand have fallen precipitously"

post by: matteo at: 10:14 | 5 comments

The company has sold only 22,492 trucks in the first nine months of the year--a 47.4% drop. About 75% of Hummer sales this year were of the H3, which is built on the same template as the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-sized pickup trucks. It is the smaller of the two SUVs the division sells.

HA! motherfuckers. Hope the H3 is next, along with the rest of the huge gas-eaters.

maybe they can convert them to hybrid.

I mean, they only weigh 130,000 tons each, right? I'm sure the Japanese can come up with a 12,000 HP hybrid diesel/electric engine to move all that metal around

Funny, a group of my male friends were just complaining that no one is getting hummers anymore.
