HUMMER CLOSES DOWN


General Motors has announced that it will wind down HUMMER after months of attempting to sell it to various interested parties. GM SA released a statement earlier today explaining that existing HUMMER customers will continue to be supported by their local dealers in the same way as before.

“While we will no longer distribute and sell HUMMER vehicles in South Africa,” the statement said, “we remain fully committed to looking after our customers through our network of HUMMER approved dealers. HUMMER customers can be assured that we will continue to offer full after sales support and that we will honour all warranty agreements.”

It went on to say that production of the H3 in South Africa was halted in May 2009 already. GM is concentrating on the Chevrolet, Opel, Cadillac and Isuzu brands for the time being. SAAB, which has been bought from GM by Dutch supercar maker Spyker, may also continue being supported by GM SA.
