GM VP Bob Lutz's green pose is (what's the phrase?) a "total crock of sh#t"
—
Among the most galling visions, as U.S. carmakers stand cap-in-hand before the American people, is the site of a preening GM Vice President Bob Lutz pretending to be green. Lutz is firmly on the record as someone who is too lazy, too ideologically hidebound or just too stupid to look at the ...
