Another thing to watch out for is the impending demise of Hummers

Stay tuned! Hummer is, of course, a fully owned and operated subsidiary of General Motors. But already GM wanted to retire the fleet by 2011, which rather nicely coincides with the date when the H2 must meet CAFE standards.

Hummer, as a brand, may continue under Indian ownership, either as Tata (the Indian company behind the Nano) or Mahindra, which has a large share of the Indian light truck market.
