He knows what makes a good enthusiast car, but he's definitely got cranky old man syndrome...on account of being a cranky old man.

Best of luck to New GM and Lutz, and I hope they just remember to keep innovating and improving their cars.

Maximum Bob gives me a Maximum Bob every time I see him.
He's a man's man; a true diagram of manliness. One of the last true balls-out cowboys.
The world will be a less hairy place when Lutz beats the shit out of this mortal coil.

Step down, Bob. You're a badass, we get that. You don't have to prove it anymore. Go fly your jet or something.

Hey, put Bob in the Reasonably Priced Car on Top Gear. That would be fun to watch.
Old Detroit became world leader back when the rest of the world didn't exist. In the 60s it was damned unlikely you were going to see anything foreign in this country, the exception being Volkswagens, Mercedes, and the other occasional luxury or sport Euro models. But taking that example, when VW came to the States, on year one they sold two cars, the next year they sold thousands and thousands, because Detroit wasn't making what an awful lot of people wanted. That has been the case all this time. For Detroit to insist, even now, that they cannot build a good small car profitably, while foreign automakers spend millions of dollars to tool up todo exactly that, then spend even more to ship the cars to these shores, puts Detroit's rationale in a bad light.
I could begin a rant about unions, insurance costs etc. here, but I think we all know where that kind of thing goes.

Was this on TV, or purely imaginary?
On a slightly related note, I saw the next-gen Lacrosse on the 405 today bearing Michigan MFR plates and "KELLY BLUE BOOK TEST VEHICLE" emblazoned on the side via a very large magnet.

Of course, assuming GM still exists in a year.

Puts Lutz in the clear!

Hey, we can hope right.

The Obamanator needs to unleash some Maximum Bob H-E-double hockey sticks on the future of the "NEW" GM.
A little TWISST never hurt anybody!
