It’s official – the Hummer brand is dead. While there are no official reasons being given today, I’m hearing from sources that the Chinese government balked at the last minute for the same reasons that consumers did last year when the beleaguered GM maker sold a mere 9,046 vehicles – gas mileage stinks. And it’s easy to see why. Such Chinese ownership of such gas guzzling behemoths would run directly in opposition to Beijing’s stated goals of environmental consciousness and efficiency.
