The real question is would you like your next GM vehicle to be build by a communist masquerading as a capitalist or a capitalist masquerading as a communist?

Oh the irony. GM rebranded the image of Hummer to represent the gluttony and "patriotism" of America and now the "communist" country owns it.
i think they two M stand for marketing more than actual humvee

so they restyled a soccer mom SUV after a diesel military workhorse and redid the badge, it doesn't mean anything to me

India is part of the Commonwealth so they are OK.

The Indians owing Range Rover isn't bad, it's suite revenge. Besides ANYONE could built better quality than the British.

Communism and capitalism aren't mutually exclusive - both are strong in China!

Aren't the current H2 Hummers just Chevy Avalanches with different skin? The only real Hummer is the H1 and they haven't been sold new to the public for a long time now.
I always like the name "Avalanches", it symbolizes the sales chart of GM's products.

BTW, do people in Hong Kong end each sentence with the word "HAHA"? It must be a new trend.

I don't remember that when I was there.
