So General Motors is selling the Hummer brand to a possible Chinese Conglomerate that wants to enter the commercial vehicle market. I'm guessing the price must be right? Why would anyone want to buy the Hummer brand when it has proven a fuel crisis bust?
In the recent past there were rumors that Tata was looking to purchase the Hummer brand. With further research on the Tata, Hummer purchase, I came across Reva. I wonder if this was some green campaign, search engine joke?
The Reva is an, urban, electric vehicle that is produced in Bangalore, India:
About REVA Electric Car Company Private Ltd (RECC)REVA Electric Car Company Private Ltd. (RECC), based in Bangalore, India, was established in 1994 as a joint venture between the Maini Group India and AEV LLC, California USA, to manufacture environment-friendly and cost-effective electric vehicles. Seven years of R&D earned the RECC recognition in the form of 10 patents and a globally accepted product. REVA, India's first zero polluting Electric Vehicle for city mobility, was commercialized in June 2001.

The cost for one of these four (4) seaters is about $7,500 - $8,600 USD.
