At least the interior is already up to their auto standards.

Vette owners won't allow that to happen.

So what did they actually buy? They need GM for the truck parts. They don't get the H1. Really they got a bunch of dealers.

Looks like GM will continue to build H3s for the new owners until they can get something else in the pipeline.

So does being a Chinese brand do anything to the "rugged American image" of Hummer?

Probably not, I'm guessing.

I guess they will start spraying them with lead-based paint and stuff the seats with Melamine. This should be great.

Great, now I can not buy one from a CHinese company instead of not buying one from my countrymen. I feel better.

Obama may advocate it, since he is so into the Green revolution.
