Hummer O2 - side view
Despite the occasional sound bite from Detroit or Sacramento about green-tuning the Hummer, the General Motors uber-SUV isn't much of a player in the alternative fuels field. But that doesn't mean we can't at least imagine what an eco-friendly Hummer might look like.

In fact, that's exactly what some of the folks at GM Advanced Design did for a contest affiliated with this month's LA Auto Show. The theme was environmental sustainability: Imagine what a car might look like in 2015 if it were built for a Southern California "green" lifestyle, and without the distraction of having to actually crank out thousands on an assembly line.

Thus was born the Hummer 02--a car that breathes like pond scum, and that took first place in the design contest. (To see the other contestants, click here: "Car concepts get the green light.")
