Hummer Has a New Smell

Whether it's the smell of success or slumping sales remains to be seen -- but now Hummer has its own fragrance. The cologne, a $52 fragrance by Toronto-based Riviera Concepts, will be followed by aftershave, soap and deodorant, all in distinctive packaging meant to recall the front end of the Hummer and aimed squarely at 25- to 45-year-old men. The fragrance could make as much as $36 million for its marketers and license holders, and would follow other automotive brands like Ferrari and Jaguar in becoming a scent.

GM is giving aways the Monets for favorable auto reviews? No wonder the profit per vehicle is out of wack. I am more of a Manet man myself, but I will takes a Monet.

I dont know if this is some sort of new incentive. I would rather have some airline tickets or somethings.

Is the knocking engine sent through FedEx or UPS? Or does it just appear as if some sort of magic GM wizard waves a magic Delco wand an pow! it appears in your living room. Is this some sorts of deal? Like a factory rebate check in the mail.

What do you do with said knocking engine after it appears? Do you use it as a table? What if you have a doorbell? Would it ring the doorbell or would it still knock?
