GM remains cluess on how to manage a niche brand.

By leveraging HUMMER's strengths in off-roading, plus the rugged image it holds, there's no reason why GM couldn't hold onto HUMMER as a niche brand. In fact, GM can easily penetrate markets that are dominated by Land Rover in global markets.

Good point -- here's another article that articulates HUMMER's marketing downfall pretty well: http://www.neurosciencemarketing.com...n-branding.htm
