And as for your sig "At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit earlier this month, Bob Lutz, GM’s vice chairman, brought a large contingent to inspect Ridgeline. He told Flint: It’s the best “packaging” of any vehicle he has ever seen, meaning the best layout and use of space.
Lutz praises competitors sparingly, especially those from abroad." that sounds like the most back-handed, sarcastic compliment I've ever heard. I can imagine Lutz thinking, "I've got all these people and cameras watching me look at this pos and I have to say something nice so i don't come off as being a jerk so I guess I could say it has the best...... um.... packaging I've ever seen". It's like when a little kid comes home with a crappy drawing they made in school, instead of telling them it sucks you tell them it's very unique looking. |
I don't know, but I read the story and it seems that beside a poor tire choice they did pretty well. If you think Honda can't win races........your really not up on racing.
Your psychic abilities regarding Mr.Lutz true meaning behind his compliment is astounding. You and John Edwards should get together and do a show.
How's this interpretation behind his comment? Gary Flint (Ridgeline engineer) was a leading GM engineer that left GM for Honda for obvious reasons and insulting the Ridgeline would be equivalent to insulting GM.
................or maybe he just really liked the truck.
