You display class envy at its worst. Only an utter moron would believe a
word you say. I'm sure you make a point of pedaling your bike so you will
effectively force people to slow down and have to wait for an opening to
pass you. There is nothing phony about the Hummer's off-road capabilities.

Sure, the Hummer is going to die, but not because of anything wrong with
it. It is going to die because the US government took over GM and forced
them to sell the brand name. China was the only taker and it fell through.
Saturn is also going to die because of the government takeover and Penske
being unable to find a manufacturer to build it. Pontiac was dropped
without even a choice and Saab may go the way of Hummer and Saturn.
