  Hummer is a vehicle brand that started out as a product of AM General and was purchased by Generals Motors. After GM took control in 1998 they used the Hummer name to create the military-inspired Hummer H1 in 1992 followed by the smaller more civilian-friendly Hummer H2 in 2002, and the Hummer H3 in 2005. This really speaks to GM’s manufacturing efficiency in how their vehicles are released in such a straightforward manner. Sadly, in 2010 Hummers where put under economic pressure and as inventory harshly depleted the last new Hummer H3 was driven off the lot on May 24, 2010. It was almost saved by a Chinese manufacturer, but the commerce forced them to withdraw the bid.

The standard engine for this model was a 3.5L 5-cylinder engine with an average of 220 hp and 3,000 pounds of towing capacity. It only came with one trim, the base trim, which included eight exterior colors including a cool Shadow Green and vibrant Yellow. This trim automatically comes with the all-wheel drive to take on any road.
