If you do not enjoy the ride of a Hummer that is fine. I prefer it to any Lexus, Mercedes, Bentley or Rolls Royce. The difference, the above mentioned cars can all be compared to each other. A Hummer H1 is a vehicle that has no peers. It is a type of ride that some like and others will not. your opinion is not factual. I find it to be more comfortable. there is nothing like having your arm on the sill of a Hummer in the summer. Worth every cent. There is no other vehicle that can even be compared to it. That is why it is so special. RESPONSE TO MARC.

The only real Hummer. Now it is oficially a GM truck and no longer AM General at all. I really hope this negatively effects the sales of the H2s and H3s. Losing the H1 from the line takes away the legitimacy of the branding. Horrible move. They have to make H1s for the military, why not still pump out a few for civilians? They could even make it a pre order only deal. Most people who buy H1s would not mind having to pre order. I think this will bite them in the ass and the H1 will be back in less than 6 years. That is my prediction. So, they are discontinuing the H1. The only real Hummer. Now it is oficially a GM truck and no longer AM General at all.

The H2 and H3 are just the hummers more commonly seen, but the H1 makes Hummer's image. How could they think to cut the H1!

I don't know if that's 1985, 1995 or 2005. Added note, I heard that the military was paying somewhere around $25K for the non-armoured HUMVEEs. I don’t know if that’s 1985, 1995 or 2005.

Particularly for ranchers, rescue squads,etc out west. Like above reduce the price, only sell diesel with AC and forget the luxo parts.

Not sad to see this one go. I pass enough schoolbuses on the way to work as it is. Built for military purposes, should have stayed there. Not sad to see this one go.

The Hummer is a great vehicle for its intended purpose... that is: M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle People forget that this is a vehicle designed by AMC Motors back in the 1970's with production and patents being sold off to GM. Until 2006 it survived with the old and lethargic 6.0 deisel from GM...and in 2006 the duramax became an OPTION. No wonder they aren't selling. just goes to show how fickle the buying public is.
