What's the difference between a porcupine and a civilian Hummer?
A porcupine has pricks on the outside.
(Note: Said joke also applies to Escalades).

My only hope in all this is that Saturn would be spun off to the dealers and set up as an independent non-union US auto company. In 15 years it would have reclaimed much of GMs lost market share and prove that non-Union Americans are the most production humans on the planet.

Why not? Kadaffi is getting a piece of Chrysler.

Since the American citizens own GM; we should know who we sold Hummer to.

I’m thinking it could be one of those rich guys out of Dubai. They love the Hummer vehicles, and it could be a natural fit.

Future historians will look back in amazement. ‘They used to have laws’. The Constitution will be deemed Unconstitutional in short order.

I wonder what the scam is and why they are hiding it. Which of obama's favorites is getting all the Hummer assets and none of the liabilities at a bargain price?
In any case, I won't be buying any GM brands, whether or not they are sold to other companies. I want GM not only merely dead. I want GM most sincerely dead. 100% dead, no exceptions, no forgiveness. I am boycotting Hummer, GM, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Saturn, and all the other Bailout nameplates forever. I hope that even with what was probably a crooked deal, the buyer loses big on Hummer.

I’m sorry to have to have held my name back so long. It was me, I bought Hummer. I had $22.75 left over from last week’s allowance, so I went to Detroit and made GM an offer. Much to my surprise, I had the highest bid.
I hope I didn’t pay too much.

Since WE own GM, and WE sold the Hummer Division, why can’t WE know who the hell bought it from US?

But according to the article; GM was going to continue to build them until 2010. That says to me, that whomever bought it, needs time to tool up to build them wherever. Where ever that is not here.
