Don't recall whether anyone's already mentioned it, but there's a nice Q&A with Bob Lutz in the summer edition of Pontiac Performance, that little GM-produced magazine we all get as Pontiac owners. Here's a great excerpt:
Q: You have said fun is a lost art in the automotive business. Can you explain what you meant by that?
A: . . . Let's just say that I believe enjoying a car or truck used to be a guilt-free experience. More and more people are being swayed by sentiments of social guilt and environmental awareness into not admitting to themselves that motor vehicles that are dynamically excellent and have a good driver-machine relationship are one of life's greatest pleasures.
The man totally GETS it, doesn't he?
