Correct. Defined goal. Defined purpose. Defined product.
There isn't another brand at GM that has that!!! Not Saturn. Not even Cadillac.

A fleet of diesel HUMMERS would do wonders. Don't make it an Alpha only option.
Expansion to regions like Africa and Australia and the Middle East that would put HUMMERS to good use is also an option. Face it, GM needs an international presence.

GM hasn't even explored the potential of HUMMER. All they see is "big suv" and "gas guzzling."

There is a need for vehicles such as HUMMER.
