Two reasons to stay from this brand:
1. Lebron James as your spokesperson.
2. Hummers sissified by being only electric.

The original Hummer had lousy MPG. The reincarnation doesnt have that problem.

Why? Hummers were unreliable money pits.
I wouldn’t buy a new GM anything.

I stand by my prediction that electric vehicles will never be more than a market niche. Unless there is some profound battery breakthrough, electric vehicles will prove to be the CFL light bulb to the LED. Hydrogen cars or something else, li-on battery cars? Never.

Hummers were unreliable money pitsJust like LeBoring James.

And the military version cost as much as five military Jeeps. While still not being armoured.
The one plus it had over the jeep was not rolling easily when cornering at high speed...which isn’t something that comes up enough to be worth the difference in cost, IMHO.
A bunch of men could (in an emergency) physically lift a Jeep up over a stone wall. Wasn’t happening with the HMMWV.

I guess we’ll be bailing them out again sooner than later.

What’s wrong with having LeBron James as your spokesman? Is he some kind of flaming lib or something? Sorry I don’t follow sports so pardon my ignorance.

GM looking for atonement from the woke crowd by admitting the original Hummer was a gas-guzzling climate sin mobile.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
The only hummer I want is...... um, never mind.

It kinda makes sense, if the electric vehicles “hum” when driving. Some might use a different word, but it seems at least somewhat apropos.
