HUMMER is seriously on the brink of extinction now that the SUV market has died and GM is looking to unload the brand...but HUMMER is still here for now. HUMMER has unveiled the 2009 HUMMER H2 Black Chrome Edition.
The special edition H2 gets black chrome treatments for the grille, fuel cap, door handles, side vents and mirrors. 22-inch black chrome wheels are also part of the package.
HUMMER is only going to produce 1,300 units of the 2009 HUMMER H2 Black Chrome Edition that is available in either the SUV or SUT versions.

It seems like only the domestic companies make these special editions. Why is that?

The market may be dying for such vehicles, but there are still (few) buyers out there.

The main reason for this special edition rig is, in my opinion, to get a piece of history before it's gone. A history of a huge overbuilt massive wasteful ridiculous ego-driven and over the top SUV that 99% of the owners uses 1% of its capability. Hurry! Get it now before it's too late! Own a piece of history! They are soon to be a collector’s item for sure. Good for the auto shows in 30 years, assuming gas still exists for it.
Now we are going to have a huge selection of underpowered tiny economy cars; fits, yaris, prius clones, civics, etc... They will cost the same to run in the future due to high energy costs as this monster is today.
I can hear it now; "yup son, I owned and cruised up and down the strip in a 10000 pound 4X4 Hummer - back in the good old' days. Gas was only $4 a gallon too!"

This is exactly how hummers should be sold. Small numbers, with higher end equipment. Now I wouldn't quite call these changes high end, but they're starting to lean in the right direction. They really need less typical GM with badging and versioning, and more corvette team. Bring it under GMC or Cadillac, and make a couple of versions.
Make the hummer a real offroad beast, with hill climb assist and descent assist, adjustable suspension, all the high end stuff, and add in the 6.2 liter, or a nice diesel.

@mf
I'd much rather have an Unimog than some high end POS hummer

@Sparky:
Umm, isn't that what I heard growing up? My dad going on about his 65 Mustang, or his GTO... Straight pipes, split rim wheels, doing burnouts and everything else.
And the wonderful accident in the Mustang that left him in the hospital for a month with a battered body and leg broken in 3 places...
And that's why my first car was an automatic (cause for some reason that means I'm less likely to kill myself...?)
I still salivate when I hear the roar of a properly tuned V8, especially with a supercharger or blower. I'm not a Mustang fan, but anything with a Whipple supercharger sounds oh so good.
My kids will hear about how every person had a car and they could drive anywhere they wanted, and go as fast (not legally) as they wanted....the future will be getting you from point A to B. Hopefully someone gets a working transporter made, and then cars can be proper recreational vehicles.

Bedtime story boys and girls. A true story though, can't make this up.
5 or 6 years ago, a local GM dealer built a fancy new Hummer facility, and pushed out a fair share of 1's and 2's.
Announced on the news yesterday, that same Hummer dealership has "expanded" and selling Chinese built mopeds. With electric cars built by the same Chinese company to follow.
P.S.
Note to General Motors: Having driven the H2 and H3's, i'll jack up a Silverado before i ever buy a bloated, useless Hummer. Make them go away. Cover the remaining inventory in gold leaf and rhinestones, and give them away to rap stars.

Each time I see a hummer on the road, I can't think of anything but negative thoughts about the stupid people who drive these thing.
What the hell are they thinking? How cool it is to burn thru 10mpg and I laugh thinking how much it cost them to fill the huge size gas tank. oh well. I guess we all have choice in what we buy and drive.
Power to the people. even stupid people.

The H2 people laugh back at you because you have to drive puny little go karts and can't afford an H2 and the gas it takes. (Exception: H2 owners living beyond their means).

I've driven these monsters and... damn its awesome! I'de own one in a heartbeat if I could afford one. But ide be afraid to own one!
I remember when these things first came out people were like 'wow! these things are beasts!" now its "hey,a hummer" as they whip out there keys to scratch em up.
Yea they are pretty useless. I meen 8,500 pound suv with a 6.2
V-8? Why would an average family get one of these?
Now for all them Land Cruiser owners, get one of these and save $20,000 msrp. These are tough engines. They'll last. Besides, what Land Cruiser owner takes his $75,000 Land Cruiser off road anyway? Not to mention the fancier Lexus LX 570.
The Lexus LX 570 is a $85,000 upscale TWIN of the Land Cruiser with the offroad capabilities of a KING. But then again, I bet the majority owner of these things have never even taken them on a dirt road. If I spend $85,000 on a vehicle, I wouldnt. These are the most useless SUV's out there.

are you serious? all of these broke ass haters on here boo hoo'n about how they hate the hummer and how it should be takin off of the road! wow....the only reason you would want it off of the road is so that you would'nt be reminded of what nice things you will never have in life because you have a sucky ass job and will never be n e thing. its okay if you can't afford it...but don't hate on us who can. I can't stand people who cover there insecurities up with "I am the conservative one, I would never drive that big wastful thing"....whatever dumbass (sparky)...if you hit the lotto I bet you wouldnt be driven that little 2 dollar yugo,huh? get a life! or get a better job and stop crying you little girls!
