    Get ready to say goodbye to Hummer, BIG SURPRISE!

    By chromedome  |  Posted February 27, 2009  
     

    General Motors has been shopping its Hummer brand around, but no clear buyer has emerged and it's looking like Hummer production will soon end.

     

    GM has said it would decide by next month whether to kill the Hummer line. But that could happen as early as next week, according to the Financial Times. Hummer's heyday was in 2006, when it delivered nearly 72,000 models in the U.S., but sales fell 51% last year.

     

    Hummer would join a number of other GM models in the automotive graveyard. Saab is also for sale, and will receive bankruptcy protection in Sweden. Pontiac will become a niche brand with just one or two models. Saturn is headed for a 2011 phase-out.
