Pickup truck, SUV sales run out of gas; Hummer brand slated for possible termination.
Of the many models crippling GM sales, the worst have borne the Hummer nameplate. In May, Hummer purchases declined 60%, and through the first five months of the year it is the marque that has slipped the most, down 36%, placing it behind brands such as Chrysler, Bentley and even Maybach. The Hummer H3 gets an average of 15 miles per gallon, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. [emphasis added. Wow!]And regarding the precipitous overall decline in SUV sales related by the article, someone needs to tell that to the recalcitrant Toyota salesmen I've been speaking with recently w/r/t a potential acquisition of one of their SUVs.
"At this point, we are considering all options for the Hummer brand," Wagoner said. "Everything from a complete revamp of the product lineup to partial or complete sale of the brand."
