Presumably in America.
Yes, it was built in the USA, plus one other country. 

Double-checking some information on this car earlier, I should have said that it is more closely related to GM's 355 platform (Chevrolet Colorado, etc.) than it is the Blazer, although that is a kissing cousin too.

Not a GMC Canyon, but closely related.

Ah ha, almost there Wingroad, as this is a Hummer H3.  So to complete the puzzle and get the point, do you know what its nickname was?  Good luck, and locked to you until your next reply.

Apparently it was called that on the production line so I assumed that was what it was nicknamed during development.

Not Terminator, and not related to 'that man.'  Keep on trying though Wingroad...

Hahaha!!! All I will say Wingroad is that this car's nickname is not an obvious one, but it can be found.  Good luck  ;)

I found one more possibility, used by the Press at the time.
"Baby"??? Or, the "Baby Hummer"?

If it isn't a Chevy Blazer perhaps it's a Vauxhall Hacking Jacket? 8)
