The first one was built to show that they could do it. A customer pre-ordered the second one and optioned it as they saw fit. Now Mil-Spec has built a third example of its rebooted Hummer H1, and Launch Edition #003 is currently listed for sale with an asking price of $239,000. Mil-Spec has...

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...

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...

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.

Oh, Karl Lagerfeld: you have just made our day. There is nothing quite like seeing you -- one of fashion's indomitable forces -- dressed like the hippest uncle on Planet Earth, in skinny jeans, tipless gloves, and your trademark super-high collar. You're so attentive to detail that you've...
