GM FastLane:Summer Update

By Bob Lutz

As usual, summer is speeding by us in sixth gear, and despite GM North America taking its traditional “summer shutdown” in the first week of July, we’ve all been pretty busy around here. In the last month I have visited several corners of the far-flung GM universe, including another trip to Europe to meet with the product development team in Germany. There are some very exciting things happening there that unfortunately shall not be blogged about yet, but stay tuned.

One of my favorite recent trips was to North America’s own little slice of Europe, Quebec. I met with French-Canadian media in Montreal, which, as usual, was both fun and enlightening. They’re a smart bunch, and it’s amazing how sincerely appreciative they are for the simple act of communicating with them in their own language.
