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

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,
Considering that it's a Chinese company, I can see this being an in for the Chinese military to begin producing H1's if they acquire Hummer.  The Chinese have for a while now, been rapidly building up their military ... too rapidly for some people's comfort in Washington and other nations.

Sincerely, 
Greg Taylor :) <><

And also nowhere near as good looking as the other not a car, not a truck vehicles: the El Camino (and GMC versions) and the ute's Holden sells in Australia. 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.
