H2 Plant Goes on a Two Week Shutdown

An AM General plant that makes the Hummer H2 will shut down for two weeks this month as sales of the trucks have slowed.

Dealer lots have excess H2 inventory, so the production line in Mishawaka, just east of South Bend, will not run the weeks of Oct. 16 and Oct. 23, the company said. General Motors Corp. markets the H2 consumer truck.

I was kind of wondering when we were going to hear about a cut back in production. The Hummer dealer here in Fargo has at least 5 on the lot, all 06s still. I can remember seeing the one H2 SUT there since June.

I'm sure people could pick Hummer's up for a reasonable price if the dealers don't want to keep them on their lots. I myself wouldn't mind having one as a secondary transport as long as my daily 'muter was something like a Mazda 3
