He's served well for a long, long time. The man deserves some rest. Thanks Bob for everything you've done for GM!

Bob Lutz was a driving force for special (enthusiast) vehicles. Just a guess - If there will not be any more "special vehicles" in the pipeline, he might as well step out.
Lets hope we all get our SS Camaros and hang on to them as long as possible. -Mark. |

Bob. We'll miss you. :(
But I'd be happy to take over your job.

Keep in mind that he will still be around as a senior product adviser (or some such title). Which I think means that he'll tell GM what they should make, while GM doesn't have any obligation to do what he wants. This could be a way to get him off payroll too without losing his advice on future products.
