Hummer H1 Discontinued
 

I heard this earlier, just found a link
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060512/...e/goodbye_h1_2

so basically they did that because it used up too much fuel?

oh noooes!

It said about 3 times in the article that it had nothing to do with fuel consumption.

Well, anyway it will become a collection car in a few years and will worth more

Only 12,000 H1's sold since 02

"Based on the military's Humvee, the about 12,000 put on the road since 1992 defined the Hummer name"

Ah, that sucks! I love the H1.

oh thats sad to hear H1 were okay.. i really like the H3 midsize are great, if i had the money to spend then i would tottally buy the H2.

pffffff. lucky me i didn't go and get me one of those

H1 is the best one of them all. fuck the rest of those cheap imitations.

Most Hummers are never used for what it is designed for..off road..too impractical

only a retard would buy a hummer anyway

"look at me, I'm a yuppie and I have a big vehicle to compensate for my small penis and self esteem"

Having owned a 94 then a 96 I would have to say the total inability of their dealer network to adequately provide service was a major reason.

My closest dealer was 200 plus miles from home.

The 96 went thru 3 fuel pumps in 30,000 miles. Each failure was in the middle of nowhere and a days long event.

Tire mounting, balancing, installation of inner-liners once took three days and included flying in a factory rep from Indiana. I sat in a hotel and spent $$$ at near-by tit bar.

In-board front disc brakes and front end parts were expensive, needed replaced every 12,000 miles, and of course were never in stock.

For more than a year it remained parked at various airports out west. I would fly out drive for a week, fly home. It was a great performing vehicle in deep snow, sand, hills. But high performance = high repair. Dealers were in over their heads.

Some of Hummers "premier" dealers I used were Cadillac, Buick and Pontiac. Not a fucken truck mechanic in the building!

I used the truck as intended, loved it, miss it to this day. But glad I got rid of it!

who the fuck would own one of these unless they had a small cock?

No fucking shit.

Most Hummer dealers took the line on to increase their showroom traffic. No commitment on the parts and labor side.

The only exception was in Nashville, their dealer was a 24/7 Caterpillar and Mac truck dealer. A huge well run dealership where I was teased for having such a small inexpensive vehicle. Service there was perfect.

i think it has to do with gm is having big big problems

Someone like me, Mine was a third vehicle. I didn't take it to the mall. It had black steel wheels, no chrome. I never washed it. I enjoyed driving it in severe weather and off-road.


Now the sports cars I have owned are a different story. I guess I do have a small dick ... never once have I run them at sustained high speeds, never once did I run the piss out of them on a track. I do keep them washed and waxed looking sharp for the girls ............. hmm ........... ?

Yea, their retirement benefits are about to kill them.

'bout time - useless heap of crap.

I bet owners are relishing of the thought

Damm guess i gotta pick one up before there gone now, its a badass truck My buddy used to have one, could do anything with it

H1 is the only hummer that actually works off road isn't it ?
I mean the army use them so they must be hardcore
H2 is a POS looks like a tonka truck
and H3 looks like a jeep crossed with a tonka truck POS

Honestly, the H1 was/is a great off-road vehicle. Unfortunately, I saw this coming for a looooong time. The H1 started (in the 90's) around the same price as a Viper which was around $60k-$70k. Now, for basically the exact same vehicle, the base price has skyrocketed to well over $110k; which is completely rediculous. I would love to have one to use off-road, but it is absolutely absurd for anyone to pay those kind of prices for a new one; so I can see why their sales have dropped.

The H2 is more a nice SUV, i dont drive any off-road routes.

I love my H2 called blackbox :-)

Bah, they're just planning to stream line the market for their new civilianized vehicles, the Panzer 1.

I paid $72,000 sold it 35,000 miles later for $51,000 ..... Suddenly they jumped to a base of $110,000. With no model changes!

What a stupid statement ..... going for post count huh?

Best deep snow vehicle ever made.


.

I guess you're sore 'cause you were dumb enough to buy one (two!), huh?

damn

meh..never thought much of em anyway...not practical enough in many senses
