From the Moscow Times:
U.S. auto giant General Motors is negotiating with Russian automakers on a possible sale of the Hummer brand, Vedomosti reported Monday.
Among potential Russian buyers are Oleg Deripaska’s Russian Machines, Vadim Shvetsov’s Sollers and Kaliningrad-based automaker Avtotor, the newspaper said.
GM already has a Hummer assembly plant in Kaliningrad.
GM is also in talks with Indian carmaker Mahindra & Mahindra and automakers in China about selling the Hummer brand, Reuters reported last week.
I’ve always thought it would be cheaper for the Hummer owners if they just responded to those penis enlargement emails everyone gets. Neither technique actually works, but the email approach isn’t quite so obvious.
But still, one must ask, does this mean that America is no longer the land of excess for its own sake, or will the market for these monstrosities still be mainly American?
