Synopsis

Since the late '60s, Bob Lutz has had both hands on the auto industry, and so far hasn't let go. With more than 40 years under his belt, his influence has touched both product and people at several manufacturers -- having worked for a number of them and even at a supplier for good measure. These days he's in his second stint at General Motors helping spearhead the corporation's turnaround as Vice Chairman.

On this week's Autoline Detroit, Bob Lutz talks about the state of GM's renaissance, the product leading that charge and the challenging issues facing the entire industry going forward. Joining John McElroy on the panel are Matt DeLorenzo of Road & Track and Jeff Green from Bloomberg News.
