Hummer

Hummer was an American car manufacturer based in Detroit, Michigan. It was founded on January 22, 1992 and was a manufacturer of sports utility vehicles (SUV's) and pickup trucks.

The name was first used in 1992 when AM General produced a civilian version of the M998 Humvee. General Motors acquired the rights for the name in 1998 but discontinued the brand in 2010 due to financial difficulties.

Although a popular brand, Hummer's models have been criticized for featuring poor safety provisions as well as being too large.
