I can just imagine the marketing plan to get hummers on the roads of China...

Hopefully that means I don't have to drive anymore Saabs (I'm a valet), but I think it won't.

I think it was intended for the Chinese to own the Hummer brand, our production factories stay open (jobs stay around no change) and they keep pumping out H4s and what not, on the American populace.

I doubt you would be able to squeeze an H1 down the ricksha infested streets of Hong Kong...

Once they've got Hummer humming along in the States, I reckon they'll set up a plant in China for their local market.

That means when some Japanese cat picks one up, then moves on to the next trend, it can get shipped to NZ and it can become your next project! It's a viscious circle!

Actually I bet H2's get just as good or better gas mileage than some of the guys and there Blazers on the forums . But yours is probably an exception!

To make them a little more gay:

Someone talked about the H3x and I wanted to see it so I performed Google image search and clicked on one of them. Then I realized the website I was at.

ROFL! I think I am going to try to get my newest Army H3 featured there...

Also Kiwi: 300km on a tank of around 53 litres? What the hell is a kind of backwards measuring systems is that?
