Dinner with Lutz: Bob Lutz has spent nearly a half-century in the car business, including an eventful eight years as GM's top car guy. That's a lot to cover over dinner, but we give it a try

摘要

Bob Lutz is retiring-again. He has tried this twice before: at Chrysler in 1998 and with his abortive exit from General Motors last year. But this time, at age 78, it may stick, even for the car guy who has operated at the industry's highest levels since the early 1970s. So a small delegation from Automotive News heads to Lutz's country home outside Detroit for an exit interview. After passing through the security gate and winding through manicured grounds to his chalet-style home, we sit for a brief drink in the living room. Then we walk to one of his garages to shoot video of his car collection.
