Re: HUMMER buyouts reportedly offered to HUMMER dealers

This honestly makes me wonder if GM is just going to shutter the Hummer brand rather than sell it to an investor or foreign car company.

Why would they close showrooms if they are planning on selling the brand to someone else? Wouldn't an expansive dealership network be a good selling point in attracting a buyer?

Perhaps this means the brand will just cease to exist just as Oldsmobile did....

...and since I'm on the patriotic side, maybe this is the best course of action. I want GM to do well and succeed, but seeing an American brand like Hummer in the hands of a Chinese or Indian company just doesnt' sit well with me for some reason.

I know...perhaps I'm a bit shortsighted....
