  If you knew Bob....

  Easy to shoot at an enemy you can't see. Know Lutz, you'll get his position.

  I've closely watched him, and understand how the pragmatism you hate works at the helm of his massive industry. It's not coming from unsophistication, blindness or stubborness, but an evidence-based view that eschews ready-fire-aim... maybe something learned as a fighter jock.

  Where he sits (by choice, being late-70s) Lutz is planning GM's market position 10 years hence and beyond... deciding which vehicles and what strategies serve the broad base it takes to sell several million cars and trucks a year, long after he's gone. Be glad the Volt is his personal favorite.

  As carbon arguments coalesce in the big picture, you can bet Lutz will get it faster than anybody else likely to head a car company, anytime soon.

  Ironically -- knowing the big-auto cheeses, these days -- a smart, no BS engineer like Bob Lutz is likely the environment's best friend among them.
