GM to sell Hummer to Chinese company

[Ramairgod84]

GM has an agreement to sell its Hummer brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co. of China, said a person briefed on the deal. Sichuan Tengzhong deals in road construction, plastics, resins and other industrial products, but Hummer would be its first step into the automotive business.

This is part of the news brief on yahoo... I know this isnt LSX related, but I thought i'd share this... I think that hummer being sold to the chinese is a direct representation of america place in the world. Hummer, biggest automotive symbol of america's strength, being sold to the chinese. Such is the same with basically everything else in america, from building materials, to clothes, toys, food. There's almost nothing left that's home grown. I think we're becoming more dependant on other nations, and are less able to stand on our own feet as a country. IMO

I wonder if the Chinese will be building our military Hummers as well... Wouldn't that be a bitch..

[TransAm11973]

good, the current hummers are gay....the only good ones were the original military ones.....the current ones are stupid

[Danger731]

A comma would have helped your point.

rememeber, GM bought the name and resell rights. I'm sure military grade hummer's are still made by military grade companies.

[Mr. Luos]

+1 on the bird part. Good riddance. That is the only gm division that I hate

[Ramairgod84]

lol you're right, but i guess in my defense, I could say that it has to do with us because it's GM. Anyway, I'm glad to see them go, I meant it more as a general topic. I guess I put it in the wrong forum area.

I kinda liked the new H3 trucks.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Birds and TAs, so I am moving it.

They've been so dependant on us, riding our coattails when they have needed money or military support in the past, and selling goods to us, that now that our own economy is so fucked they get to get some of our companies. Shit its not like asian countries dont pirate enough american technology as it is.

However, the civilian version hummers were as worthless as the yuppies and hoodrats driving them. Good riddance I could really care less. I rather have camaros and corvettes eating up the EPA MPG allowance. The Hummer was created to be one of the premier forms of mobile transportation for our military, not to traverse the ghetto and take kids to soccer

[Pickle86]

ya i agree hummers lick! give em to the chinese!

guys I read on MSN that the Hummer is being replaced for the Military with the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle being developed by Northrop Grumman anyway.
