Maneesh, the Vic Police did not buy Hummers. They were given 6 Hummers to loan by GM Premium Brands as a brand building exercise for both the police and Hummer.

In fact, the GM cars are sold very well in China, I guess China is the only place where GM can actually make some profit.

I believe there’s actually a market for big hulking cars in China hence the buy. Perhaps the quality would improve too, who knows. I’ve been told the VW’s that are made in China for the Chinese market are of excellent quality, comparable and sometimes bettering Japanese counterparts.

Time will tell.

Hummer will be used by the Chinese against the Americans one day in war, either directly or via Nth Korea, some African country etc…

And love Vic Police, even if they got this rubbish for practically free, petrol and service would cost them in the end…Red neck idiots.

The pathetic, gutless, under-resourced Victoria Police have purchased them! And will buy more…Because they think, by having a big Hummer with Police stickers, driving past crime hotspots every hour, gangs will stop stabbing people….?!?!?!

“Hi Everybody”
Without Hummers what will all the small men trapped in a large world do for transport ?
The Chinese copied and produced the Hummer several years back, why would they pay money for the left over GM division ?
If they were made in China or India at least the quality would improve.

GM has in fact sold Hummer to Chinese firm Sichuan Tengzhong. The deal has been anounced and takes effect in about 3 months. It includes everything needed to build Hummers. I guess GM has a deal to supply engines, but it does not mention that in the announcment.

If ‘Adios’ is racist, then surely Danman2 is too?

Either way… Hummers need to be diesel. Petrol Hummers are just ludicrous. Everything is better in diesel :D

I will give you a scoop car advice… the winning bidder was…..ME!

I found it at the back section of E-Bay at a buy-it now price of one and fifty dollars, just outbidding Vija Mallya who was second highest at 135$. He was going to remane the Company “force Hummer”.

I am now busily going through the Dubai phonebook asking everyone that answers if they would like to buy one, or twenty.

If all else fails I intend asking the relevent governments for 18 billion (euro’s please)to create a ‘green fund’ ie, recalling every hummer ever made (even Arnie’s) and scrapping the lot.

Bet i make more money in one year this way than GM made from Hummer in ten..

Perhaps a better idea (in the long run) would be to stop selling stupid cars like the hummer.
