GM's Hummer H1 reaches end of the road

From Reuters:

DETROIT — General Motors Corp. said on Friday it will stop building the gas-guzzling Hummer H1 truck, a military-style status symbol with poor sales, and focus its resources instead on better-selling vehicles. The last H1s, which get about 10 miles per gallon, will roll out in June, the automaker said. The H1 is the foundation for GM's Hummer brand.
