That's starting to change now that CO2 is considered a pollutant and fuel economy standards are on the rise. I don't think the Hummer has a very bright future to say the least.
The new TDI's are now 50-state legal again and very clean in all aspects. The older ones had some trouble at times meeting CA's strict NOx emissions.
