End of the road for the hulking Hummer H1

Washington Post

Saturday, May 13, 2006

The Hummer H1 -- the biggest, toughest sport utility vehicle on the road -- has run out of gas.

Cheering just about every other driver on the road, General Motors Corp. said Friday that it is ditching the H1 by June.

The vehicle, which delivered a shot of in-your-face masculinity, has a price tag of $140,000, weighs 5 tons and gets less than 10 miles to the gallon.

But sales have slowed to a trickle. GM has sold fewer than 100 this year.

Many see the H1 as a symbol of personal excess and American overconsumption.
