Actually, it's the cars that he designs that are total crocks of shit.
In a posting on his GM blog on Thursday, Lutz said those "spewing virtual vitriol" at him for minimizing the threat of climate change were "missing the big picture."Fine, let me tell you about how everyone I know hates the pieces of junk that GM has been selling for decades. The lousy gas mileage, the breaking down just after the warranty expired, the miserable resale value, the horrendous reliability and the butt ugly looks. The GM cars here in Europe (Opel) are just as lousy and it's a miracle they're still in business. Of course, let's not forget the tens of thousands of ruined households thanks to GM shutting down factory towns because people like Lutz were designing such massive pieces of junk. His designs helped millions of Americans turn away from Detroit and buy foreign cars. I mean, if that's what Lutz wants to talk about, why not?
"What they should be doing in earnest is forming opinions, not about me but about GM and what this company is doing that is ... hugely beneficial to the causes they so enthusiastically claim to support," he said in a posting titled, "Talk About a Crock."
