They understand that drivers of Hummers want to be untouchable, invulnerable -- it is the mechanical version of American exceptionalism. But that Bushian fantasy is fast fading into irrelevance, buried by massive gas bills. This much I know for sure: in screenplays, anyone seen driving a Hummer will inevitably be unmasked as a villain in the end. That can't be good for the brand.
