Hummer

H1 down, H2 and H3 to go.

Hummer H1

Katrina vanden Heuvel over at The Nation isn’t optimistic:

The good news out of Detroit is that the largest version of the Hummer—the 10,000 pound, less than 10 mpg, $150,000 Hummer H1—is being scrapped by General Motors due to lagging sales.

But, on the flip side, sales for the entire Hummer fleet—including the H2 and H3 models which boast whopping 13 mpg and 16 mpg fuel efficiencies, respectively—TRIPLED nationally between March 2005 and March 2006. According to The Wall Street Journal “people are buying Hummers precisely because of high gas prices—buyers want the world to know they can afford the gas.” (If you were wondering who the 29 percent of Americans are who still support George Bush, look no further!)
