Everyone knows Hummer ! This 4X4 big then SUV sold by General Motors based on historical military humvee.

He was buried at the same time the brand disappeared in 2010, when GM was going through a serious financial crisis. A dark year, a time when General Motors put Pontiac and Saturn in the closet, and parted ways with Sweden’s SAAB. Although the Hummer has disappeared from dealerships, we continue to see them regularly on the road, or in the movies of course. But the new generationmore based on the times seen a few months ago: Hummer EV.
