I think it went something like this:
“Hey Lutz, you gonna support us, or you gonna share a hole with Whitey Bulger”
“..yes sir”

I don’t think we are getting the full picture here, I know – and everyone else knows it too – that Lutz is a Republican, so for him to say this actually speaks good for the auto task force. They seem more interested in making money than making MPG’s so since I don’t know what’s going on, I’d have to take Lutz’s word on it. He is still one of the greatest automotive minds of our generation.

Anyone in favor of more government is an idiot.

And then Lutz said “Thank you sir, may I have another?”

Will the real Lutz stand up? Wasn’t this the guy that said that global warming is bull stools? I respected him for having an opinion back then, not sure who this monkey is imposing for him in this article?

For the sake of Putz’s soul I really hope we find out the administration had a gun to his head. I doubt it, but that’s the only imaginable way for him to avoid damnation in all future histories of this time period.

Lutz also has some subprime loans he’d like to sell you.

Putz is also a slut. I wonder if he swallows, he definately will take it up the ass ( for a price)

you said it Zoom! if that guy was sticking around longer, he’d be all over the place swearing up a storm about the Gov’t

I’d definitely be in favor of more of THAT, too.

Anybody else see the irony in the headline? Wasn’t it because of a slight oversight that Lutz is filthy rich anyway?

“Lutz even supported President Obama’s recently announces CAFE standards which require a 35.5 mpg fleet average by 2016 – a full four years ahead of schedule.

Lutz will retire from General Motors at the end of the year.”

And that’s exactly WHY he supports it!

andy- Obama’s got an Escape Hybrid.

And as far as his official Presidential Cadillac, it’s really not subject to regular standards, considering it’s everythingproof and has to be that way. Just like every other President’s.

leftwingagenda.. I agree completely.. at this point, with industry sales down 40-50% across the board, ANY US vehicle that actually sells should take precedence over CAFE standards!

i wonder how many mpg obama’s tank gets, maybe he should trade it in for a Kennedy addition Prius

Really Bob. You of all people should understand that having an 800lb gorilla in the passenger seat can’t possibly do anything to enhance performance.

Wow. My Lutz approval rating just went through the floor. I guess you wouldn’t mind the government coming in. First, you have no choice and second, you’re out before the tragedy is realized anyway.

Yes, I am in favor of the government watching Lutz more

Sorry, there’s already too much government oversight. I don’t mind keeping emissions regulations that prevent smog and other very harmful chemicals that appear in large cities, but I don’t need big brother over both my shoulders.

the government should be interested in every single profitable model, no matter how many MPGs it pulls, imo…
