DETROIT – General Motors today announced the retention of former Vice Chairman Robert A. “Bob” Lutz to provide counsel to the senior leadership team of the company.

He has also been a senior executive at Ford, Chrysler, BMW and was CEO of Exide Batteries.

Lutz has been providing advice to GM executives informally since retiring from the company in 2010.

He should have replaced Rick Wagoner in 2009

Hail, mighty leader. Good to have you back on board.

Bob Lutz might be the boldest leader in the automotive industry, and GM needs that.

Good move, now maybe they will let him get back to business!

Can Mr. Lutz, being a car guy, tell us when we can see and order the new Gray for 2012?

Have you read "On a clear day, you can see General Motors"? That was a good read. Some things have changed but some are still the same.

As learned from watching the pros (aka congressional lobbyists) I say we form the Camaro5 lobbyist group to help uh fund Lutz in the personal decisions he may make or advise GM on for the future of our kids!

I have mixed feelings about Lutz...sometimes I wonder if his age isn't getting to him...

Great to have him back - he's truly an asset, and a living legend.

On the other hand - he earned his retirement. I wish he could enjoy it.

I think Lutz is like my dad. Can't sit still during retirement. He's probably glad to be back.

Probably. More power to him - and he loves the business, I think.
