Tata, M&M in race for GM's Hummer
After the acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover, Indian auto companies rank high in the global M&A pecking order. Merchant bankers are learnt to have approached both the Tatas and Mahindras for General Motors’ (GM) iconic brand, Hummer.
The all-American SUV and pick-up brand, which is often associated with both US military might and sheer Hollywood style machismo, is up for sale as announced by top GM executives earlier this week.

You mean it could soon be.... HuM&Mer ? But why buy a gas guzzling low efficiency box maker?

Re: Tata, M&M in race for GM's Hummer
Hummer is still selling in Middle East where they care more for bling factor than fuel efficiency.
It would be good way for Indian companies to get more recognition in ME.

The problem, Eric, is that the ME uses Indians for all their operational needs, but, at the end of the day, just like us, they worship the occidental man! 
BTW, do you know that THEY get a Driver's License without even a test?!!
Am I to believe that EVERY occidental man is a near 'perfect' driver???????

Coz THEY are the ones who give money to them for the black sticky stinky fluid that lies underneath.
I am sure there are more Indian construction workers than gulf people in ME.
Construction managers always hire a translator on their payrolls. |
