Hummer has a Chinese owner

This is so unexpected. GM is selling its military-rooted Hummer brand to China's Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co. Who would think that Hummer will have a Chinese owner or that a Chinese company is interested in Hummer. The vehicle is a symbol of American pride, representing excess and brawn. Come to think of it. Only a few countries of enormous sizes will be interested in such a colossus. Russia, China, India, Brazil, Canada, and Australia have the space to accomodate Hummer's wide body on their streets. India is happy with its Nano. Brazilians are fond of their compact motors. Canada and Australia don't have the populations to support the sales. Russia would rather invest her capital in her natural resources. China is the only candidate left with the ambition and financial resources, especially after the financial tsunami. The new owner vows to re-desgin Hummer to make it more fuel efficient in order to pass the new federal requirement. I am not sure why we need such a colossal vehicle on our streets. To be honest, Hummer was born out of desperation. It was GM's last ditch to snatch a piece of pie in the automobile market. Hummer didn't disappoint GM's executives. The mammoth was well-recieved by American consumers, who wanted an All-American vehicle. However, it has a huge carbon footprint, burning too much fuel per mile. I hope the new owner will make a hybrid version or even an electric one.
