The H1 gets about 10 miles per gallon, but Walsh said rising gas prices didn't factor into GM's decision. He noted that H1 buyers typically have been less sensitive about gas prices than most other drivers.

.......

Last year, GM sold 374 H1s, down 16 percent from 447 in 2004.

..............

AM General, which builds the H1, H2 and Humvee in Mishawaka, Ind., said it doesn't plan to cut any jobs as a result of the decision. It said workers there were expected to be shifted to military production.

.............

"The military production is way up, the civilian production is way down," MacNab said. "You can't make a business case for making any investment in the civilian vehicle. ... It's a good time to stop."

Well, it's good to seem them prioritize, somewhat.

Good, Another retarded gas guzzler off the road. Well sorta.

I think they need to stop production on the H2's also, those things are rediculous.

Every person ive seen driving a H1 has such a hard time with it. Or they just dont know how to drive.
