Default What you guys think about GM selling off Hummer?

http://cars.uk.msn.com/News/car_news...entid=14119394

February 13 2009

General Motors' staunchly American car brand Hummer could be sold-off to a Chinese company and private equity firm for £69.4 million ($100m).

The news might save GM from a government-funded bankruptcy, but will mean that one of America's most iconic car brands could end up in foreign hands.

Hummer is to the Americans what Land Rover is to the Brits. And so as America potentially bids farewell to its beloved 4x4 maker, we take a look back at other US motoring legends. From the early pioneering motors at the turn of the last century that set us on the road to mobilisation, to the infamous muscle cars that have graced the silver screen - these are the 50 greatest American cars of all time.
I would say Jeep is to Americans what Land Rover is to the Brits...

But anyhow, I'm sure back when Hummer just started making civilian versions of the Humvees they were kinda cool...but then inevitably they wanted more money and the H2 was born...then the H3.

And now no one wants to buy a Hummer, except for this Chinese company.

So what u guys think? good riddens or "don't do it GM!!" ?
