General Motors' New CEO Is...Bob Lutz?

Bob Lutz is a controversial guy: a slick salesman/cheerleader who can get the public riled up about a new car, but also the kind of hothead who's been known to speak before considering the consequences -- like that time he called global warming "a total crock of" hooey. (We paraphrase.) However, at least one critic thinks Lutz might be an excellent choice for GM's new CEO. Granted, part of his rationale is that Lutz has "a full head of silver hair", but hey, it's an interesting proposition. [Forbes]
