==Replicas== [[File:National Guard Live Fires Hawkeye.webm|thumb|Hawkeye 105 mm Mobile Weapon System in Camp Grayling, 25 July 2019]] Kits have been produced for the general market to turn a [[sedan (car)|sedan]] into a Humvee lookalike. An alternative is to buy a preconstructed (or "[[turnkey]]") model. Various kits exist, but one of the more well known is the [[Volkswagen Beetle]]-based "Wombat". This was previously named "HummBug", until the threat of a lawsuit from General Motors forced changes to the name and the grille design to make it look less like the real thing.<ref>{{cite web |author=speedsterforsale |url=http://vwforsale.wordpress.com/ |title=VW "Hummbug" For Sale |publisher=Vwforsale.wordpress.com |date=2009-06-28 |access-date=2012-05-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110114024701/http://vwforsale.wordpress.com/ |archive-date=14 January 2011 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kitcar.com/wombat/home.html |title=The Wombat-a hummdinger of a sport utility vehicle! |publisher=Kitcar.com |date=1990-01-06 |access-date=2012-05-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120618051051/http://www.kitcar.com/wombat/home.html |archive-date=18 June 2012}}</ref> In Australia, a Gold Coast-based company called Rhino Buggies produces replicas of the Hummer H1 based on the [[Nissan Patrol]] 4WD vehicle for around A$30,000.<ref>Rhino Buggies web site http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110218122952/http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au/ |date=18 February 2011}}</ref> In the U.S., four companies offered Hummer-look-alike body kits that can be mated to GM full-size trucks and Suburban chassis and, in some cases, Ford, Dodge, and Cadillac applications.
