Hummer H1 is SO Not Hot Right Now

It's Fired

— May 16, 2006 — Autos
The H1 is done. Hummer lovers, read it and weep:

From CBS News:
The hulking, gas-guzzling status symbol that has attracted celebrities and off-road enthusiasts but has drawn the ire of environmentalists.

General Motors Corp. said Friday that the 2006 model year will be the last for the H1, which has been the foundation for the automaker's Hummer brand. Based on the military's Humvee, the about 12,000 put on the road since 1992 defined the Hummer name.

"It's a reflection of where we're going with the Hummer brand," Hummer general manager Martin Walsh said of the decision. "The Hummer DNA still resides in the Humvee. ... It will always be the core from where we come." (CBS News)
Trend Themes
1. Transition to Electric Vehicles - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop electric SUVs and off-road vehicles that offer comparable performance and off-road capabilities to the Hummer H1, but with zero emissions.
2. Sustainable and Eco-friendly Transportation - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a new line of environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient SUVs and off-road vehicles that cater to the needs of adventure seekers while minimizing carbon footprint.
3. Consumer Demand for Smaller, More Efficient Vehicles - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design compact SUVs and crossover vehicles that offer versatility, comfort, and efficiency, targeting consumers who want a smaller footprint without compromising on style or utility.
Industry Implications
