At that point, Jeep was producing vehicles through two divisions: the Commercial Products division and the Government Products division. A military car 1971, the Government Products division was spun off as a wholly owned subsidiary known as AM General. In the early 1980s, the company, now owned by the LTV Corporation, designed a vehicle to compete for a contract offered by the U.S. Army.

  • The Reptilian Tale of the Holist and the Hummer
    The Reptilian tale of the Holist and the Hummer The French psychologist involved in the design of the Hummer said he was aiming at something that appeals to the ‘lizard’ part of the human brain. The Hummer turned out to be a fortress on wheels: ‘The world’s most serious SUV’ – Sport Utility Vehicle. The 1999 Hummer H1 looks very like its military predecessor. It is a monster with kerb weight 8114 lbs and 6.6L engine. (Mitsubishi Shogun 4399 lbs and 3.2L). More dinosaur than lizard! General Motors quickly saw their dinosaur was a winner and the 2002 H2 model (a mere 6400lbs and 6L) almost caused riots in California as buyers fought for their place on the waiting list. What is this about? General motors’ website tells us what they think the Hummer is about: strong, street smart, sexy, bold, uncompromising (www.hummer.com). One of their TV commercials entitled Monsters features a dinosaur and a robot (both gigantic) trashing a city – until the moment they meet one another, fall in love under a moonlit sky and the dinosaur becomes pregnant and gives birth to the Hummer H3 (only 4700 lbs and 3.7L). (actually, dinosaurs, like lizards, were egg-layers – film maker’s artistic licence!) These reptilian images resonate with the most primitive parts of our brain and we feel our kinship with these creatures at the deepest level – it’s where we go when we feel threatened. The lizard darts for his rock crevice and we hide in our Hummer – when someone gets too close.
