Re: Bob Lutz I'm not really a fan but he's a good source Posted by neil dale [Email] (#2111) [Profile/Gallery] (more from neil dale) on Thu, 15 Jun 2017 13:42:05 In Reply to: Bob Lutz, Snowmobile [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 15 Jun 2017 12:52:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Yes, I read the article you referred to it is quite good! I suppose I'm not so much a fan of Bob Lutz as just someone who admires a guy who at least tries to tell the truth, yes he got some things wrong (where were his publisher's fact checkers ? ) and as a Saab fan, fanatic I don't agree w/ some, many of his statements, conclusions about Saab .(or is it that I, we don't want to accept some of the truth ? and just don't like it ! ) it's very rare for an executive to dish and "tell all " he does give us insight into WHY the USA car co's failed and some of those solutions he proposed have worked and are working . there is plenty of justified blame to go around w/ the closure of Saab. I like to say that the Swedish Govt should have bailed Saab out.Hell, we bailed out GM once and Chrysler Twice! And we got our $ back not to mention the thousands of jobs saved. Sweden surely could have afforded it ! they did do something for us - they funded and own ORIO the parts co. for Saab cars and are trying at least to help us, the Million+ owners of Saab cars still on the road. PS I imagine everyone's seen the brilliant Jeremy Clarkson's 2 episode BBC Top Gear tv show about Saab? He corroborated some of Lutz's comments like how Saab was a very naughty carmaker guilty of changing, specifying lots of innovations, improvements GM didn't want or approve! Aren't we glad?
