What I like about hummers is that you get the choice to like or not like them and most importantly you get the choice to purchase or not purchase one.
In other countries you don't get such a choice. You have mandates that control the market and cannot get certain vehicles no matter how hard one tries. In India you don't have a choice but to buy Indian manufactured vehicles, even if it's Japanese is still has to be assembled in India.
In Singapore they tax at approx. 125% Sale value when I was living there in 1988. They also taxed based on engine size for yearly costs. It was VERY expensive to own even an inexpensive Toyota Corolla.
Iceland is very expensive for petrol, yet a good number of people drive SuperJeeps, vehicles that make a Hummer look like a small vehicle. Iceland also heavily taxes their vehicles and petrol.
But again, people have the freedom to do what they want with their money.
