Re: HUMMER: The Best of GM’s Brands on the Cusp of Being Thrown Away
A HYBRID HUMMER IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE. You guys are absolutely delusional. Hummer vehicles (including the H3) have ALWAYS been known for their crappy fuel economy, but they still sold well. Why? Because people bought them for their off-raod capabilities, not their fuel economy. That's like saying Lamborghini needs to put a 2-mode hybrid system in the Gallardo to survive. That's just stupid. Hummer is a good brand for what it is, and people will continue to buy them, just in slightly smaller numbers.
You people need to wake up and come to your senses. Most (not all) people don't want hybrids, especially in large vehicles. Look at the Tahoe/Yukon hybrids collecting dust on dealers lots. And if hybrids are the answer to our fuel prices, why aren't they in every vehicle in Europe? Gas is 3 to 4 times more expensive, and most people still drive ICE vehicles. It's because in 90% of cases the hybrid doesn't pay itself off before the buyer sells it - it's a waste of money.
People that want hybrids look at a vehicle as only a means of transportation. And that's good for them. That's why most hybrids and economy cars look like crap. People that buy Corvette, Hummer, GMC, Cadillac, etc buy them for a different purpose - Comfort, Safety, Luxury, Functionality, AND EVEN STYLING!!! Some people think of their vehicles as an expression of their personality, or care more about the way they look & perform. Those people couldn't care less about fuel economy! Get it into your heads! They don't care about fuel economy. Only the first group of people care. Those are the vehicles that need hybrids, not the Cadillacs/Hummers of the world!
