Julie found this article and man do I need one of these.......
Perhaps General Motors designer Bob Boniface — the man heading up theChevrolet Voltdesign program — said it best: “There’s a little Prius inevery vehicleToyotasells and there is a littleHummerinevery vehicle GM sells.”
Despite the public perception of GM, the Detroit-based automaker is workinghard to earn its green credential. GM has launched several new hybrid models invirtually every vehicle segment and will soon launch the electricChevroletVolt. But despite GM’s move to green, Hummer still remains the thorn in itsside.
Case in point — the new book titled “Hummer H2 – King Size America!”. Intrue Hummer fashion, the coffee table book measures 17 by 25 inches and weighsa whopping 17 pounds. Ironically, the book’s 200 pages were penned by a Germanautomobile journalist, but he seems to have captured the essence of the brand —including a centerfold that is actually wider than the H2.
And keeping with the theme of excess, buyers can customize their copy withtheir name, license plate or even their H2′s VIN number.
Only 999 copies of the book will be published with U.S. sales starting inApril. But potential buyers better have a bank account the size of a Hummer —the book retails for 999 euros ($1,570) in Germany.
It seems that unless GM ditches the Hummer brand complete — which is highlyunlikely — it may never shake its gas-guzzling image.
