Hummer Guy

Macy*s doesn’t seem like the most likely place to find hummer stuff, but thanks to GM, you can now get some new hummer products at your local department store. On the list is hummer deodorant, bodywash, and cologne. I can’t imagine this stuff ever taking off–but I have to admit, I’m curious as to what the cologne smells like. They bill it as “a fresh, exhilarating scent that blends organic essences of the natural world such as sandalwood and leather with exotic spices like cardamom and amber for a truly masculine adrenaline rush that can only be called HUMMER.” I’ll wait for someone else to review it first…

GM announced that for the first time ever anyone can get an H2 at the same special pricing that GM employees get. This is pretty cool since normally Hummer isn’t part of GM’s big promotions, but this time around the 2005 H2s are included. When you’re getting eight grand off, it will open up the door to a lot of people who may have thought they couldn’t afford an H2.

Most people think that soaring gas prices in the last year have hurt hummer sales. In fact, compared to this time last year, Hummer’s sales are up 68%. This is partly due to the newly released H3, but very few have actually been ’sold’ or delivered.

UPDATE: Hummer and Cadillac were the only GM brands to see sales improvements. Not bad!
