Jeep – Oldie but Goodie

Jeep, a car brand of automobile manufacturer Chrysler, takes pride in being the oldest Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) around.

There had been quite a lot of possible explanations going around as to the origins of the name, “jeep”, but none have been verified. One theory was that it came from GP, which was short for Gov. Purposes, a designation given to this type of vehicle. GP was then slurred in a way that it eventually sounded “jeep”. This claim, however, was argued by R.

Hummer - Before and Now

Hummer is a brand of automobiles distributed by General Motors or GM for short. The Hummer line, which is composed of the H1, H2, and H3 models, are big automobiles, and are often regarded by many countries as trucks, and not classified as the regular Sports Utility Vehicles. In New Zealand, for instance, a truck license is essential before any automobile of considerable weight can be allowed to operate.

In 1998, though, while still continuing to produce the vehicles, AM General Corporation gave General Motors the rights to use its brand name. Since then, General Motors has been taking charge of the marketing activities as well as the distribution of all Hummers, even those produced by AM General.

A few years ago, however, GM said it would stop its production of the original Hummer H1. Read the rest of this entry »
