Automotive News reported the talks Monday, citing dealers who have held discussions with GM. The automaker announced last month that it was exploring options for the gas-guzzling Hummer brand, which has seen sales fall as oil prices skyrocketed in recent months.

Dealer conflict is a risk in selling or dismantling a brand, as GM itself found earlier in the decade when it discontinued Oldsmobile in 2004. Reaching settlements now could remove some risk for a potential Hummer buyer, or give GM more options as it debates what to do with the brand. - Lou Whiteman

From: eric,

Dateline NBC will run an undercover investigative story of the above claim april 5th. I will add a link to the web version of it to my skeptical page on this at
www.phact.org/e/hafc.htm

If I can ever find positive credible proof of it working, I will put that on my page. So far, people promoting HAFC have been hostile to attempts to get them to offer proper proof to independent observers.
