Damn good thing he doesn't work for GM

It sounds like Mr. Lutz should be following his own advice when it comes down to GM vehicles

"It is a bit Audi TT-esque," Lutz said...[HR][/HR]
The man've said it, it's a TT rip-off!

You say that as if he's been there long enough to revamp ALL of GM's retarded line-up. Give the man time, he's certainly proven himself to be quite a car guy.

Re: Bob Lutz critiques the Passat and 350 (Silly_me)
Silly_me-
Great quote-How true is that?
Man it will be interesting to see if he follows through with his convictions.
With all due respect, I would have to say that Chrysler still has a lot of room for improvement.

nobody from GM should be allowed to critique other car companies's vehciles. with the exception of the new BMWs that are coming out.

Considering that Lutz just got there, and really hasn't had a hand in anything GM has made up to this point, AND he soundly critisizes many GM cars, I'd say he should indeed be allowed."It is a bit Audi TT-esque," Lutz said...

The rest of the TT quote:
"It is a bit Audi TT-esque," Lutz said. "But very interesting. It has interesting surfaces. It certainly doesn't look like anything else on the road."
So, like I've said many times, the final conclusion is that this car definitely isn't a TT rip off. In fact it looks *way* better than a TT.

The two cars look nothing alike.[HR][/HR]
Well, we all know Lutz doesn't know anything about auto designs

Re: Bob Lutz critiques the Passat and 350 (Silly_me)
Actaully, the article clearly states he feels the Z "... certainly doesn't look like anything else on the road," and only a bit TT-esque. COnsidering how many people see other cars in everything, that's not saying he feels it's a copy.

d'oh! i forgot that he just got there. whereas some people have a case of itchy trigger finger, i have a case to overly wanting to critizice GM.
