Iconic Hummer brand sold to Chinese manufacturer

Hummer, the off-road vehicle that once epitomized America's love for hulking trucks, is now in the hands of a Chinese heavy equipment maker.

Good riddance. Cars like these should be outlawed from our roads. People die in normal sized cars when these monsters run into them.

Let the Chinese go play bumper cars with this ugly machine.

Bring us more hybrids!

i like hummers

[Dicky]

I think I'll go out and get a Hummer tonight.

[Pat from Blaine]

I wonder why Hummers get such a bad rep. I never heard of a hummer being involved in an accident.

They seem safe to me.

Have you ever seen the crash tests of Chinese made cars on Youtube? They literally crumple in like tin foil. Just imagine what it would be like if one of their cars collided with these Hummers? Definitely going to be a closed casket funeral.

Well, if the government owned GMC - now does that mean the the chinese owns our government....just wondering.

Outlawed, no, that's a bit much. Special license for oversized trucks and SUV's, that I would advocate.

Some of us can't drive a little piece of crap even if we wanted to. We have to pull trailers with equipment to our job's and the little pieces of junk being built can't pull a bicycle trailer much less a flatbed with a Bobcat or backhoe on it.

Huh? How is this Obama's fault? I didn't vote Obama but I also understand this downward spin didn't happen in his first 6 months in office. Rather, it was a greedy, wreckless and self centered approach to governing over several years. Capitalism is a good thing........to a point......as we've all learned.

Capitalism is booming in China, where in the U.S.. factories are shutting down and owners are going to prison.

I'm surprised they didn't throw in Saturn for half price.

Glad you see it the way over 50% of the citizens in the USA do!
9 months in office and this idiot has all but destroyed America's economy and it's credibility around the globe.
The Liberal-Democratic-Gay Sheep that voted him in are even feeling the pinch!

[Cynth on Lake]

Sad day when the commies buy Hummer.

Seriously? This was going to happen no matter WHO was in office. The U.S. economy has been on the skids for the better part of a decade. Bush, Obama even McCain couldn't save the U.S. right now. The citizens from the C.E.O.s to the bum on the streets of Detroit need to see things as they are.

EXCELLENT--KEEP THE HUMMER GOING SO IT CAN DESTROY THE WORLD . L.O.L.

[yup]

Yeah and stupid Americans will flock to Wal-Mart to buy them.
