Hummer modified in China at the 2008 Auto China

A Hummer modified in China at the 2008 Auto China show in Beijing

Some Americans may not be comfortable with the idea, but China is a force to be reckoned with. And now it might even save about 3,000 American jobs.

General Motors has a tentative agreement with Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co. of China, which plans to purchase Hummer. If the deal goes through, the new owner of Hummer would contract GM to continue building the Hummer H3 and H3T at their Shreveport, La., plant at least through 2010.

That move, along with saving dealership jobs, would save thousands of manufacturing jobs. It’s hard to find fault in a sale that benefits newly bankrupt GM and saves American jobs.

Even so, it’s hard to look past the irony of an iconic American military-vehicle-turned-civilian-SUV being owned by a Chinese company. We might as well sell the New York Yankees and our patent on apple pie to the Chinese government, too.

What I’m having trouble understanding is how Hummer’s new owner intends to make money. Hummer’s sales dropped nearly 70% in the first four months of this year, and I’m not sure Chinese ownership is a change that will lend itself to sales improvements in this country.

Maybe that’s the point, though. GM has had success with Buick in China, and maybe Sichuan Tengzhong plans to do the same with Hummer. If that’s the case, it’s probably only a matter of time before Hummers will be shipped with the words “Made in China” engraved into the sheet metal.

I guess I should just quit complaining. An Indian company owns Jaguar, and now a Chinese company will likely own Hummer. Maybe it’s time for a U.S. company to buy Kia and complete the circle in this bizzaro new world.

Spesifikasi 2010 New Hummer H3

CFC or Car Film Components from Germany, has launched an upgrade program to improve strength and appearance of the Hummer H3. CFC Hummer H3 equipped with a programmable ECU re-create the strength increases. Another luxury is reflected from the rear camera, mini bar and leather seats and Alcantara.

With a base price of more than $ 33,000, H3 is one of the most expensive SUV in its class - even when compared to other off-road SUV. Even worse, a bad economy 14/18 mpg fuel rating is the lowest in its class. While these factors can make the H3 looks like a bad value, good all-terrain capability and high ground clearance might make it worthwhile for real off-road enthusiasts. In addition, the base 2009 model received an "Excellent" rating from IntelliChoice, which means the five-year cost of ownership better than average.

However, if you can live without a military Hummer-inspired styling, there are more affordable options available. "For shoppers without true wanderlust, medium other SUV at more reasonable,".

Hummer H3 V8 Kompressor

HUMMER H3T

The 2009 HUMMER H3T is Hummer’s new midsize truck based on the H3 SUV architecture with a 4-door 5-passenger crew cab and an open 5-foot bed. Sharing components with the H3 SUV from the B-pillar forward, the rear section of the cab and the separate bed are unique to the H3T. The bed design is similar to GM’s redesigned full-size trucks with an easily removable tailgate and a standard cargo management system. The interior is essentially the same as the H3 SUV with seating for five adults and a 60/40-split rear bench seat that folds flat for increased cargo-carrying options. The H3T delivers the off-road capability expected from HUMMER with standard 4-wheel drive, 32-inch tires and functional skid shields as well as available 33-inch tires and locking differentials.

HUMMER H3

The H3 is HUMMER's midsize SUV and the third model in the vehicle lineup. Based on the Chevrolet Colorado pickup platform, the H3 is designed to deliver authentic HUMMER style and off-road capability in a smaller, more fuel-efficient package. For 2008 the H3 Alpha was added to the lineup featuring a unique look and a more powerful engine.
