Where Was Bob Lutz Today? We Know And It's A Shocker

 

TheGMSource - For those that follow this blog daily (we know your'e out there!) you know that not one piece on Lutz escapes us that should be printed. Today, at INTERIM CEO Fritz Hendersons press conference all of GM's regular players were present. Of course Fritz was on hand, but so was Troy Clarke to announce GM's new Confidence sales incentive.

GM's Current Vice Chairman Robert Lutz, however, was not on hand. Why? We've got exclusive information on what Lutz was doing this afternoon while GM's Press Conference was goin' down.

Now we all know that Maximum Bob tenured his resignation from General Motors effective today, March 31st. He's no longer GM's Vice Chairman, or in charge of GM's future product planning. We've heard from sources today that as part of the condition of emergency assistance being given to General Motors the Obama administration insisted Lutz stay part of GM in a high profile capacity.

According to our sources the Automotive Task Force feels that General Motors needs a "true car guy" with immediate input as it relates to General Motors future in these trying times. The team has realized during these past few weeks that they are not fully prepared to make all of the decisions that the company is going through, especially as it relates to future product planning.
