The Cars Of Bob Lutz: A Gallery Of Winners And Losers
(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

- Varezhka Maybe the volume was not big enough to really matter anyways, but losing a “passenger car” for a mostly “light truck” line-up should help Subaru with their CAFE numbers too.
- Varezhka For this category my car of choice would be the CX-50. But between the two cars listed I’d select the RAV4 over CR-V. I’ve always preferred NA over small turbos and for hybrids THS’ longer history shows in its refinement.
- AZFelix I would suggest a variation on the 'fcuk, marry, kill' game using 'track, buy, lease' with three similar automotive selections.
- Formula m For the gas versions I like the Honda CRV. Haven’t driven the hybrids yet.
- SCE to AUX All that lift makes for an easy rollover of your $70k truck.
