(My favorite Lutz photo: with a 1966 Opel Kadett he just rolled at the test track)

The world would have been a lot duller without Bob Lutz, on many levels. And although it’s easy to poke fun at his endless malapropisms, as well as the more than ample mistakes in his long career, his gut instinct for cars that look good and are exciting to drive make quite the collection. The following cars are vehicles that Lutz had some degree of involvement with, allegedly, or well documented. If I’ve missed something significant, let me know, and I’ll add it.

Opel GT 1968

BMW 3 Series E21 1975

BMW 6 Series 1976

Ford Sierra 1981

Merkur XR4Ti 1985

Ford Explorer 1990

Dodge Viper 1992

Dodge Intrepid 1993

Dodge Neon 1995

Plymouth Prowler 1997

Note: GM cars not complete or chronological

Pontiac Solstice

Buick Enclave

Malibu

Pontiac GTO

Pontiac G8

Volt

Wjtinfwb Rivaled only by the Prowler and Thunderbird as retro vehicles that missed the mark... by a mile.
Wjtinfwb Tennessee is a Right to Work state. The UAW will have a bit less leverage there than in Michigan, which repealed R t W a couple years ago. And how much leverage will the UAW really have in Chattanooga. That plant builds ID. 4 and Atlas, neither of which are setting the world afire, sales wise. I'd have thought VW would have learned the UAW plays by different rules than the placid German unions from the Westmoreland PA debacle. But history has shown VW to be exceptionally slow learners. Watching with interest.
Ravenuer Haven't seen one of these in years! Forgot they existed.
Pig_Iron I one of those weirdos who liked these.
SCE to AUX Inflation adjusted $79k today (!), so I guess $28k is a bargain....This is another retro car that was trying too hard, but it is very nice.
