          China car sales are skyrocketing. I've read where there are big Hummer clubs all over China make this a good deal for them.

          China sales hit record 1.11M in March
          The data confirmed earlier, partial industry estimates suggesting sales remained robust in China, the world's second biggest auto market, despite deteriorating conditions in most major markets.

                  I do not think that the military hummer was made by gm. It is definitely a completely different vehicle then the H2 and H3

                      Happy Endings for China!

                      I see it as a way for China to enter the US car market easier. They can continue to sell hummers, and then introduce some of their cars under the Hummer name. Maybe they can inprove their fuel mileage...

                        The Hummer H1, aka HMMVV, was designed and built by AM General, GM's military contract division. Trials were conducted at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, MD, during the early 1980's. After it was accepted by the US Army in the mid 80's, it was designated M998, Scout and Light Attack Vehicle. The M998 was commissioned to replace the aging M151A1 and A2 'Mutt', a GP (Jeep) variant built by Ford.

                          I wonder if a certain radio host with a reputation for excellence in broadcasting will continue to shill for them on his show?

                          I'm a fan, I just hate it when he gets down on tiny gas misers. It's my choice to save gas. I'm not in a *rush* to burn more money.

                              As a soldier I will tell you the hmmwv is not that great out here. With the advances in explosives they are having to add all this armour which in turn makes them even slower and break more. That is why we are switching to mraps which are alot better. We have a HMMWV as a fob runner and I dont really like it but I have never taken it off road.
