One would speculate that Tata have their hands quite full with Jaguar and Land Rover in the US market. Would Hummer present an opportunity or a distraction to Tata.

Tata, I'm sure, is an alternative. Word is, the intro of the Nano has been delayed indefinitely due to problems surrounding the plant. This may not be the ideal time for Tata to make another acquisition. Mahindra had an interest in Hummer, and backed out, and they made that news public-it is why I did not mention them as a suitor.

With their recent acquisition of Jaguar / Landrover, they have an existing dealer network and it might give them a stronger foothold in the US. I wonder if Hummer might be a good prospect for Tata?

The lease deals is what moves the SUV/CUV iron... The H3 is comparable to the 4 door Jeep TJ, the Toyota FJ its directed at the folks that appreciate the "industrial look" in SUV/CUV's. SUV's being lifestyle vehicles, gargantuan SUV's with V8 are not reflective of the current lifestyle...and pricing of oil. Its easy to put Hummer on the market/auction block possibly a different story coming up with a buyer. One likely prospect would be Mahindra & Mahindra who is postponing the launch of their vehicles in the US, and Hummer would give them an "instant dealer network" for their product in the US market.
