Re: [AMC-list] Chinese company buying Hummvee!

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Except for the fact that the H1's were made by AM General and not GM. GM 
basically bought naming rights from AM General. H2's and H3's don't 
share anything significant with the H1.

I haven't heard this in the mainstream media but in case you didn't hear 
about it, they are actually planning to close the plant in South Africa 
(makes right hand drive versions) and move production of those vehicles 
to the current facility in Indiana.

The H1 had the tough guy look down but I found the styling on the rest of them just too clumsy. If you're going to do ugly, go all the way. A proper ugly vehicle looks like something that's either arrived from another planet and/or would beat you up and take your lunch money.
