In addition of the AM General HMMWV and the Hummer (H1) we should soon start to see AM General Humvee C-Series (or "Civilian"), as it seems they produce it under that name now.
Read in the humveec-series.com site:

From what I read, it was scheduled to be sold as kit car, and the buyer would have had to find an entire powertrain for it (i.e. engine, transmission, etc.)...
The kit will certainly be available, but an already mounted truck can be bought too: the 2015 prices for the 2 first models are $167,000 and $185,000 (€147,000 / £105,500 and €163,000 / £117,000). As said just above, this is for a complete truck with its powertrain, but it's a bit more than the $60,000 scheduled for the naked kit in 2102!!! Expensive toy...
Maybe useful for future identifications:
• 3 models are apparently available;
• seen thanks to the cache of a pictures search engine (the website apparently no longer uses it):
I don't know how reliable is that photomontage: the rear view of the C-Series don't match exactly the ones shown in the factory pictures, on which the make logo says AM General. Was this make replaced by the Humvee one for the civilian customers?
