Just what Door County needs... one less Hummer. Say goodbye to the ultimate arrogance of the H1 Alpha, a $140,000-plus Hummer whose time has come and gone, according to GM sales statistics. With about 12,000 H1's on the road sucking up a gallon of gas for every ten miles they are driven, H1 sales have slipped into oblivion. GM will continue to make the H2, based on the Chevrolet Tahoe S.U.V. and the H3, based on the Chevy Colorado pickup. More than 100,000 H2's and more than 50,000 H3's have been sold since GM introduced each of these downsized status symbols. Find out more at Hummerdinger.org.
