GM Dumps HUMMER?
Posted by lorraine on 25th February , 2010Gosh I hope so. Call me a tree hugger or a hippie, but I do hope this really happens. An article in the Money Times confirmed the details, but then the divestment of SAAB stopped when GM was able to strike a deal with a Dutch car maker. They were trying to unload SAAB onto a Chinese company. Wait a second…
A) When did we start selling worthless pieces of junk to the Chinese???
B) Wasn’t it just a few months ago that we were all in a tizzy because China, as a developing nation, was dragging its feet on committing to any kind of emissions cap? How would owning the HUMMER brand help that?!
My heart goes out to anyone who loses his or her job because of the disappearance of HUMMER, but I think in the long run the extinction of this dinosaur will be one of the things we look back at as being a silver lining of our economic downturn.
