General Motors is studying new offers for its Hummer brand of sport utility vehicles, two days after announcing plans to end the brand, a source familiar with the talks said Friday.

Ever since the Hummer burst onto the scene in the early 1990s after its coming out party during Operation Desert Storm and the Persian Gulf War (and with a little help from then-Terminator, now-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger), the public has had a love-hate relationship with its super-sized combination of size, power, utility and consumption. More than any other car in the past two decades, the Hummer has come to represent the best and the worst aspects of American culture (depending on what political and cultural lens you happen to be looking through).

Malos tiempos para vender vehículos todoterreno, malos tiempos para General Motors, que este miércoles ha anunciado su intención de cerrar la marca Hummer después de que fracasase su venta a la china Tengzhong. Hace un año, y ante la crisis que afectaba a todo el sector en EE UU y que puso en entredicho todo un modelo de fabricar coches y ver la vida, GM anunció que prescindía de ésta y otras marcas para centrarse en Chevrolet, Buick, GMC y Cadillac , sus auténticos emblemas y sus marcas más rentables. Los ajustes eran necesarios para sobrevivir y recibir las indispensables ayudas públicas.
