Bob Lutz on the Colbert Report!

I'll get the video posted as soon as it was up! It was funny though and he mentioned options for the volt such as a photo voltaic roof- HOLY SHIT IS THAT COOL. They are seriously putting 3 energy sources into a car!

That's great that he was on the Colbert Report. GM is going to get some attention for that.

He was on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos last night, http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/content/wholeshow.html
I don't know if the individual video will be posted, and that link won't work after today. Anyway, he talked about his time at BMW, the Volt, GM, and global warming. Its the first interview and starts about 1/4 of the way through (no time index).

I can only imagine that phone call.

"Hello, Mr. Lutz?"

"Yeah, hello?"

"Hi, the -uh...board wants you to go on the Colbert Report."

*click*



EDIT: Why not just call this the "Chevy Gore"? Poor Bob...

Man, thought both the interviews we're really good. He handled that really well I thought.

I was a little worried that he'd be a bit too stiff.

He did seem somewhat nervous, but to be honest- Colbert is fricking out there lol. He is just nuts, I don't think I could try be as serious as Lutz was when he was being interviewed. When he mentioned the numbers for the Volt, however, Steven looked very impressed his eyebrows shot up. Anyways...the Volt got the Colbert bump! so its all good
