You are not shocking me. Lutz just does not get small cars. I think he really believes most people still want SUVs. I say replace him with Carl Peter-Foster the GM Europe head. He is someone who clearly understands product and knows cars. GM can not survive by being a truck company, the days of $2.50 a gallon gas are long gone. Once people buy a more fuel effecient vehicle, it is very hard to replace that with one that gets worse gas mileage. Think about what you drive now, would you replace your current ride with one that gets 5 mpg less if you where in the market now?
