FILE - In this April 10, 2001 file photo, Arnold Schwarzenegger poses with a 2001 concept Hummer H2 at the utility vehicle's unveiling in New York's Times Square. The Hummer, the beefy, military-inspired SUV _ a macho icon for fans like Schwarzenegger and a symbol of ruin for environmentalists _ was done in by high gas prices and bad economic times. Unless a last-minute buyer steps forward, Hummer is going the way of Saturn and Pontiac. (Richard Drew / Associated Press)

Question: Will you be sorry to see the Hummer go the way of the dodo? And/or: What other vehicles would you like to see go extinct?
