When he was at Chrysler, pushing the then new Viper, he was all for Perot’s 50 cent per gallon gasoline tax in a car magazine interview. I was turned off.

So you drive a Citroën?

Near as I can see Mr Lutz has worked at all the rest.
Plus TEN YEARS USMC AVIATOR and sometimes selling vacuum cleaners.

Lutz has an incredible CV.
If you are going to bake a cake, you will break some eggs.

Iacocca, said he should have picked Lutz as his successor rather than Bob Eaton at the end of 1992, but at the time Iacocca and Lutz were not getting along. Eaton was responsible for the sale of Chrysler to Daimler-Benz in 1998 which Daimler ended up backing out of in 2007 when it sold Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management. Referring to the job performance of Eaton, Iacocca claimed that Lutz “would eat him for lunch”.[8]

He was to retire from GM at the end of 2009. Lutz said that one reason for his decision was the increasing regulatory climate in Washington that would force GM to produce what Federal regulators wanted, rather than what customers wanted. Lutz has expressed skepticism on the issue of global warming.
