Interesting guy, he was in favor of the Camaro and the Volt. If you are .500 in baseball, you go to the All-Star game if not the Hall of Fame.

Actually was not a Volt proponent in the begining. Once he was on board, however, it was his idea. LOL
Keep in mind Lutz gets credit for the Cobalt as much as for the Solstice/Sky. Sadly, though, in business batting .500 doesn't get you much.
He was a LARGE force and was the driver for change in thinking more than he was for change in product at GM.
