First GM Infantry Squad Vehicle delivered to the U.S. Army
A bare bones machine.

This makes a lot of sense. There is no reason for a huge, unarmored humvee when they can have a fast and agile unarmored side by side. But it should be made by Honda.
Then they can have an armored truck for the fobbits to ride in.

The only thing about the HUMMER that I liked was its ground clearance, compared to the Jeep.
But it was big and awkward and didn't have much more room inside than a Jeep had for personnel and gear, which was kind of odd considering how bit it is. That said, the only experience I had with them was when they were being field tested at Ft. Irwin and several graders were driving them. I saw lots of flat tires and high-centered vehicles. Then with the up-armoring they've done to it, it pretty much defeats the purpose of a light transport.

Another chinese disease vehicle, made possible by obongo selling out to china. Check out SAIC Motor. I would guess that china already has all the blue prints and is tooling up for this vehicle.
