Hummer
 Hummer was a brand of trucks and SUVs first marketed in 1992 when AM General began selling a civilian version of the M998 Humvee. In 1998 General Motors (GM) purchased the brand name and marketed three vehicles: the original Hummer H1 based on the Humvee; and the H2 and H3 models that were based on smaller civilian-market GM platforms.By 2008 Hummer's viability in the economic downturn was being questioned and it was placed under review by GM management.
