GM’s Bob Lutz talks about the Solstice, sales and things GM
The Pontiac Solstice, built on the Kappa architecture and the Pontiac G6, built on the global Epsilon architecture, will be out soon. The Australian-built Pontiac GTO is on sale now.. Buick will get the same investment and barrage of cool product like Cadillac. The gorgeous Velite convertible is a concept that will be built. Chevrolet, too, has the small Cobalt coming in the fall and the Colorado pickup, on sale now, as well as the Malibu and its hatchback, the Maxx. "Saturn is going to be another big challenge for us--that is, making Saturn cool again," he remarks. "We know how to do that," Lutz says.
Making cars cool is a snap for Lutz, of course. From the Solstice to the helicopters and planes he loves to fly and an estate to maintain, the former Marine fighter pilot is hoping to ride the cool touch that brought the Solstice to life right into the hearts and minds of the American public. And, while he's at it, he may just sell 'em a new Malibu.
