Hunan Changfeng Motor resigned from buying Hummer Brand from General Motors. Chinese said, the car would be too expensive for their army, and sale for civilians would be very difficult. Changfeng, of which Mitsubishi Motors is one of shareholder, deliver off-roads Leopard to Chinese Army. Every of them costs 200,000 yuan, which is a small part of the amount, the Hummer is worth. One of the reason is also a drastic growth of taxes for cars with the biggest engines.
