Wishful thinking I think.... I thought they finally sold the Hummer name to a toy company of all things.... I thought I read that somewhere a few months ago...

H3 production had been idled during the company’s bankruptcy, but GM resumed production in April to fulfill a fleet order for 849 trucks. We haven’t heard who placed the order back in March, but the batch was reportedly split between H3 SUVs and H3T pickups, and the order was to be completed by the end of May.



Although the Shreveport plant will continue to produce both the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado compact pickups, the loss of Hummer production will force the plant to lay off roughly 200 of its 900-person workforce. GM is also expected to shutter the facility in 2012, putting the future of its compact pickups in question.



For the foreseeable future, the Hummer brand is now officially dead, although GM will retain the rights to the Hummer name, and will likely continue to license it to toy and apparel companies, in addition to clubs and companies selling aftermarket accessories for H1, H2, and H3 models.



In an interesting parallel, the Humvee — the military-spec predecessor to the Hummer H1 — was recently given a new lease on life, thanks in no small part to a last-minute fleet order. After publicly mulling the decision, the U.S. Department of Defense placed a $54-million order for an additional 500 units. Production of the Humvee is expected to continue at AM General’s plant in Mishawaka, Indiana, through December.



We’re curious what GM plans on doing with the leftover H3 tooling. Should the company simply discard the equipment along with the Hummer brand, or should it sell it to another company, much like it did with the last-generation Saab 9-5? Send your thoughts in the comments section below.

The production of the 850 H3 was a fleet order for AVIS car location.



My Alpha comes from there, was put in service in november 2010, and I bought it in march 2011. the dealer I bought i tfrom had at the time I got mine , 12 or 15 on his lot, where 8 of them were alpha of different color and trim. Out of the 12 or 15 I could see on their web page then, there were at least 4 Adventure Alpha's I picked the only White Alpha with Adventure. Had 11000km on it.



As for the Hummer brand, so far for what I've read, HUmmer is shelved, not sold, and not dismanteled. To me it sounds like they kept it on back burner for later use. We've seen so many uprising from Hummer community, that maybe they realise it was a bad thing to sell. YOu didnt see any roar about pontiac, volvo, saturn, and other division going out the door, but for Hummer ouffff even today we still hear people asking why, when, where, HUmmer will come back.



Keeping my finger crossed.

The H3 might come back one day... who knows but the planet in Indiana where H2s were produced has long since been reworked and is now the location where AM General is producing the new MV-1.. so the question is.. where did all the tooling go that they had for the H2?? Was it just thrown out?? that is a big question...

Well i would say either reused . Warehoused . Traded towards a discount on newer equipment . Or sadly junked ! I doubt junked tho . If they can get cash or use it as some sort of collateral . Or yes maybe one day for a rebirth of the Brand !? They will .
