"The civilian Hummer brand was introduced in 1992, with the gigantic military-derived Humvee an early favorite of rappers and Arnold Schwarzenegger."

Oh boy. I hope they don't all come running to the JK as their next vehicle to assault with can't-get-you-home-chrome, wheels too big and tires too rubber-bandy. Personally, I'm going to miss the Hummer brand; I think the Jeep is better for having something resembling competition to keep it improving.
