What are you talking about? Lutz was the one responsible for Viper, the LH cars, and the cloud cars (Cirrus / Stratus / Breeze). He made people want to drive Chryslers again instead of Shadows and Spirits. He's also the one who called out Robert Eaton (the real golden parachute wearer) enough to the point that Eaton wouldn't put leave him in place after the B. S. merger of equals. Funny enough, he's also the one who called out Iacocca enough so that Lido put in Eaton instead. Heck, Mercedes even wanted Lutz to stay with Chrysler due to his positive experience with BMW and Ford of Europe.
Call me a Lutz apologist? Absolutely! I'll take Lutz-inspired product over a Kia any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
