[bodizone1]

lutz the klutz was responsible for bankruoting gm, and the shitty designs of the 70's and 80's shame on him for being the definition of the fat hog at the trough, here's hoping GM goes belly up again, cheers!!!!!!

yeah! so start building lithium ion electric car plants in america now? hello? there are people converting to electric without the companies...you can charge from your private house. apartment dwellers will need to charge at charging stations,

unfortunately. unless you can remove the battery and take it inside your apartment

to cjarge off a wall socket. beats bombing iraq.

[emforty2]

yeah the same guy that brought GM to its knees

great !

[volkspower]

You guys seem to be forgetting this guy brought us the Viper almost thru sheer willpower! Before you liberal assholes thrust your unqualified opinions on us, read his book Guts. You may have a different opinion afterward.

[emforty2]

these are the company leaders that brought GM to what it is NOW !

BRAVO for driving GM to the ground..now the taxpayers are gonna save your sorry A55e55 !!

[garyowen4ever]

this schmuck wants the poor usa taxpayer to bail his rich pig incompetent ass out.........FUCK YOU LUTZ,,,YOU PUTZ YOU YUTZ.

[billjsw]

Toyota killed the electric car too: remember the RAV4 electric, it's gone. I fully support GM's efforts to build the Volt. The Volt is going to make the Prius look like a gas-guzzling Sequoia. 40 miles without using a lick of gas, count me in!

[ST621TX]

When GM (and the other Automakers) sued CARB in order to stop producing the EV1, and won the right to stop producing the EV1, what they won was the right to go out of business. What horrible foresight. I hope the government won't think they are worth saving.

[algid]

It's shame Lutz wasn't around for the EV1 - the man has a sense for style (and risk) that GM could have used back then.

[Trommylee]

Lutz talks as if the EV1 never existed. 40 miles range. give me a break!! the EV1's range was more than 100 miles. he assumes their destruction of their EV's erased the collective memory of the public.

[warrencurrier]

he sounds like a real pussy.

"had to give up on that dream"?

really sick thinking.

I hope they all rot.

[SwarmerBees]

Lutz is more interesting in the segment where he attempts to make the case that GM was injured by CAFE standards when in fact had GM and labor not been successful in stalling CAFE that they would have been no more vulnerable to the gasoline spike as other manufacturers and would not have seen their stock lose 2/3's it's value, or face their staggering liquidity problem. Lutz pleads ignorance that no one could have predicted peak oil, but in fact 30 years ago that was the whole point of CAFE.
