With gas prices on the rise and with the SUV fad beginning to wane, Hummer sales have been in the toilet for about the past year. To add insult to injury, GM was strongly encouraging Hummer dealers to build large, dedicated specialty showrooms for their vehicles - many to the tune of $10-$15M, IIRC. This places Hummer sales on a really tight rope draped with banana peels. This isn't even touching the politics behind the reputations and associations that have to be fought and overcome in order to get vehicles like these to sell. GM has invested a great deal of money in manufacturing infrastructure that has yet to get paid off completely. Also, as we all know, GM has been losing billions. Overall sales are down, Delphi is in bankruptcy, and GM isn't far behind. So, indeed, they're despirate for sales.
