I know, it's relatively old news, but I've been reading more in trade magazines where Sichuan Tengzhong is refusing to commit to Hummers being built in the U.S. past 2010. They say that they'll do what they can as long as the supply chain and labor costs are conducive to keeping Hummer plants in the U.S. Hm, do I really think that U.S. auto workers will work for what Chinese workers will?? I could be completely wrong, but I'm just not seeing it. It will just seem odd when the so called "emblem" of the U.S. military and symbol of a go anywhere tough vehicle is consigned to the cheapo Chinese discount rack.

There again, maybe Sichuan Tengzhong will actually work a deal to have the manufacturing costs at its Shreveport, La., plant in line with production costs in China. Who knows? At least the actual military version of the Hummer, actually Humvee, will still be built by the privately held AM General, based in South Bend, Ind. It would just seem really wrong to me if our troops were tooling around in Chinese made transport vehicles.
