Damn, India really is going towards being up there in the New World Order next to the United Europe and China.

We in America need cheap Gas first !!!

Whereas Gas already costs twice in all the above places and they still do not seem to complain....Why ?
Because of their small fuel efficient cars and technology !

best hummer story.

i sold a brand new h3 to a client. it was brought on a flat bed to my office.

customer signed and drove off. literally 500 ft from my office the h3 broke down. would not start. the flat bed that delivered it had to turn around and bring it back to the dealership to be repaired. it took them 1 week.

i like american trucks, but the build quality of these hummers sucks! remember the times when a Tahoe or Yukon could go 200k miles without any problems. just look on eBay and you will see these trucks in great shape. today these trucks are barely making it off the showroom floor.

Could this not just be a lemon case, like all automakers have?

Just another conquest purchase to add to the trophy case so the world knows their slave labour economy has arrived. Atleast Hummer serves no strategic importance.

China/India/Russia will butt heads eventually when they realize their folly of copying the west right down to the last mistake.

Techgeek,
United Europe = Russian ruled but even then, it's too fragmented to be cohesive (the EU can't even protect itself as it stands and Russia is dogged by muslims in the south).
Africa will come back and bite China in the ass.
India will just starve itself.

The future belongs to the North American Super Continent (Canada & US) with its homogenous culture, shared history, limitless resources (fresh water, farmland, oil, lumber and minerals), civil liberties and cutting edge innovation and R&D.
There's a reason why everyone wants to live here.

Having two oceans guarding us helps too. I can't think of any country that could set foot on our soil.

Yup, nuclear weapons and exploiting retarded terrorists are the only ways they can hit us.

"Having two oceans guarding us helps too. I can't think of any country that could set foot on our soil."


this is why the neo-con/neo-nazis have to always be INVENTING "threats" and CREATING new enemies to justify the 1/2 trillion $$$ they extort from taxpayers every year. just WHO the hell do we need defending from?

"Yup, nuclear weapons and exploiting retarded terrorists are the only ways they can hit us."

and people need to make the distinction between INVASIONS and mere RAIDS on the N. American continent.

NO COUNTRY has a navy to transport armies to our shores unmolested. nor support them without being simply obliterated.

even the massive destruction at pearl harbor in 1941 was JUST a raid, NOT an invasion.

if people did not buy into the paranoia SOLD us by the neo-cons/neo-nazis, we would not HAVE TO flush hundreds of billions down the toilet in the name of "defense."

all that money could be used instead, to BUILD UP our automotive and other industries, schools, hospitals, roads, decrepit bridges, etc. etc.

as eisenhower said in warning us against the military-industrial complex (and their mass media propaganda mind altering lackeys), "Every dollar spent on bombs and bullets is a dollar STOLEN FROM the american people."

no one can help but notice the decline of america's economy. EXCEPT for the companies in the defense establishment. coincidence? i think not.

KEEP THIS IN MIND when you vote in november.

GM better not sell hummer the idiots. They finaly have a 4x4 that compete against the jeep and they want to chuck it out the window. if they sell it they are going to show that they could care less about the consumers and about having a great 4x4.

It competes only in class, not in performance. The H2 and H3 are for posers...oh and rappers.

I guess Hummer would instantly give Tata/Mahindra a full and mid-size truck offering. Take off the dumb H2/H3 bodies and you have the Sierra and Canyon.

Actually, Tata already makes a large SUV called SUMO. It seats 9 people in 3 rows and runs on diesel. I wish we could buy one of those here.

I rode in one, on a trip to India- and the beast climbed up a 12,000 ft high mountain pass not far from Tibet- without a murmur. I asked the driver what kind of fuel economy it had- and he said 10km per liter of diesel.

That's about 28 mpg US gallons. The SUMO was crude- but powerful, roomy and looked pretty indestructible.

charlik05:
"customer signed and drove off. literally 500 ft from my office the h3 broke down. would not start."

LOL! that is indeed the one of the best hummer stories! i have one too. but first, yours reminds me of a chat with a used car dealer friend of a friend.

he sold a car, did all the paperwork, and the guy drove away. got no further than 2 blocks, and was almost ready to get on the freeway. and the car DIED right there! still within sight of the lot.

the seller of course, had to give the guy his money back, and was once again stuck with the heap!

the hummer story: a magazine writer/tester took the H1 "go everywhere" beast out to the boonies. he got a flat, and the onboard tire change kit was USELESS. so he was STRANDED until he could hike/hitch out and come back to "rescue" the supposed he-man vehicle! LOL!
