Psst! wanna buy a cheap SUV company?

You may or may not have worked out that AUTOLOUD is not a big fan of SUV's.
In the last couple of days GM have announced (sort of) that the big daddy of all SUV's,HUMMER is for sale.
Now as far as these things go the HUMMER is about as close in evolutionary terms as you get to a Dinosaur in these modern times. They roam the planet conspicuously consuming fair size lumps of the planets resources, just like the bigger Dinosaurs then!
How times have changed! The H1 on release was about as cool as you could get in Hollywood,(Not that Tinsel-Town is any indication of the real world ) these days a Prius is the way to go for the socially aware movie starlet.
Hummers look tough, no doubting that but whoever the new owners are, surely they would have to realise, that to make them acceptable some major changes will be required. Outside of the USA they make little or no sense.
Maybe a Hummer that competes with Forester/ Rav4 class of car. Keep the same tough looks just shrink it and stick in a small turbo diesel engine.
Whoever the lottery winners are, I hope they have a big enough piggy bank to keep it afloat, for their own sake!
