From producing competitive pony cars to delivering luxury transport, the demise of car brands has occurred all over the world and sporadically across history. Did you own a car that any of these car brands made?

I'll start with this one because I didn't know of it's demise.

Hummer



AM General, the maker of the military Humvee, first established the Hummer brand in 1992 to offer civilians a version of the M998 Humvee. General Motors bought the brand name in 1998 and produced the H1, H2 and H3 models.

The economic downturn made the viability of the Hummer uncertain for consumers, and sales declined. After a failed sale of the brand to a Chinese manufacturer, General Motors dismantled the company in 2010.


Of the Hummer models that General Motors made, the H3 was the most popular during its five-year production.

Classified as a mid-size SUV, ('mid-sized' my arse ... you need 2 car parks for the beast) the four-door H3 was four-wheel drive and had three engine options: 3.5-liter inline-five engine; 3.7-liter inline-five engine; and 5.3-liter V8 engine.
