Arnold Schwarzenegger was influential in getting AM General’s military-duty Humvee converted for civilian use in the 1990s. Since then his environmental consciousness has grown, making his beloved Hummer H1, the name of the civilian Humvee, quite the contradiction. Now, thanks to Austrian...

Why would someone pay over $206,000 for a Hummer H1? Celebrity provenance certainly helps. Tupac's 1996 Hummer H1 first hit the auction block in 2016, when it sold for a hefty $337,000. But that buyer welched on the deal and the modified H1 went back on the block and just sold for $206,531, to be...

In a strange twist of fate, the plant that once built big, gas-hungry Hummers has been bought by a startup looking to build electric cars. On June 22, Chinese-backed electric car startup SF Motors announced plans to acquire AM General’s commercial vehicles plant located in South Bend...

China's increasingly crowded roads might not seem like the ideal location for hulking military derived off-road vehicles, but don't tell Bob Lutz or his company that. VLF Automotive is officially selling carbon copies of the Hummer H1 in the people's republic. Wealthy Chinese customers have...

Although decidedly modest by today's customizing standards, the 1996 Hummer H1 that Tupac Shakur picked out just a few months before he was gunned down in Las Vegas is full of surprises fitting with the rapper's taste. Now is your chance to become the next steward of the black Hummer, a four-door...

While owning a real military vehicle brings with it as many complications as compliments, owning a piece of movie quasi-history might help make up for some of the trouble you're sure to incur with this M998 HMMWV, or, as it's more commonly known, the Humvee--the "real" Hummer. No weak-kneed...

Despite hopes that a new buyer for Hummer would be found after an original sale deal with China’s Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co., Ltd. (Tengzhong) fell through, General Motors will now shut the brand down for good. GM originally said that it had several parties still interested...

General Motors has announced that the proposed deal with China’s Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co., Ltd. (Tengzhong) over the sale of HUMMER cannot be completed and as a result the brand will be wound down. The deal with Tengzhong was expected to secure more than 3,000 U.S. jobs...

Is it just us, or did 2009 completely suck? The economy tanked, automakers went bankrupt, celebrities died left and right (and not even the good ones). Ugh, midnight cannot come fast enough. Since early this morning, our crack team of auto journalists/clairvoyants has been drinking tea -- mostly...

HUMMER's sale to China still isn't officially complete, but already talk of production resuming has begun.

That luxury sport-utility vehicle you're eyeing could come with lots of street credentials - as well as a hefty insurance bill. It's no surprise that expensive rides can cost a lot at the showroom, but a new study by Insure.com drops the other shoe on costs of ownership for the finest, most capable...

General Motors' deal with China's Tengzhong to buy Hummer was thought to be as good as done in early June, but today reports of chatter on China's state radio casts the sale in a different light. The gas-guzzling SUVs just don't fit with the conservation plans in place in Beijing. So now the AP is...

When it comes to luxury-car quality, taste often plays as big a role as fact, but J.D. Power tries to boil the issue down to a simple metric: problems per 100 cars. The resulting ranks are dubbed the Initial Quality Study, and used to guide consumer decisions. As usual, Lexus rates at the very top...

Poor sales, growing public concern for the environment and the recession have all added up to weaken General Motors’ chances of finding many buyers for Hummer but the struggling automaker confirmed last week that at least one company was interested in the sale. That company was Chinese...
