Hummer to hit the Indian Market.

The Legendary American motor company General Motors(GM) is all set to launch the Hummer SUV (Humvee) to the Indian market. Manufactured by AM General and marketed by GM, the Hummer is known for its high price, low mileage and poor fuel efficiency.
India is known for its sky high fuel prices (in excess of $1.10 per litre, thats nearly $4.20 per gallon), but the selling point would be the Hummer's muscle to take on Indian roads. The lower end range of Humvee's would be priced in excess of 4 million Rupees upto 5 mil.
