Yes, I mentioned this in my original statement. AM General is a privately held company that still holds the military contract and is not any part of GM. Their contract to produce and sell our military Humvees is still intact. AM General seems to want their vehicles referred to as "Humvee" to separate themselves from a "Hummer" (a look-alike) made and sold by GM.
