The Hummer SUVs need no introduction! While the good old Hummers are not available in the market anymore, you will hardly find an enthusiast who does not know about the Hummer SUVs. The big bad Ameican SUV that is used by the USA Army all over the world was primarily built for the armed forces. However, later civilian versions were launched too. Three-generations of the Hummer made it to the market. The first one was launched in 1992 while it was discontinued in 2009. While Hummer never entered the Indian market officially, there are a handful of imported models here. A few of these are owned by celebrities.
