I have name a hypothetical Lutz designed car the "Troll", named after the demofraphic he appeals to. As opposed to the "Volt', the GM green car that is only a commercial.

That's the problem
Lutz appeals to a very marginal demographic. Thus GM's huge losses due to his POV.
He refuses to view GHG climate problems seriuosly so he killed the GM electric car. Will he actually manufacture the "Volt"? No way to tell.
So consumers flock to toyota, the company that gives the vast majority of customers the more efficient, cheaper to power, greener transportation they want.
Lutz should start his own gas guzzler auto company, to preserve the guzzle lifestyle! Instead of using other people's money, in those stock shares in GM, to further his demented vision.
He's like an old style commisar in soviet industry. Stalin got angry and had all but one of his jet aircraft development team murdered during WW 2. GM needs someone less Stalinesque at the helm than Lutz.
Lutz could call his new auto the "Troll". In honor of his demographic.
Let's see, instead of a battery it would have a nuclear thermocouple generating device, the kind that power satelites.
The motor could be a 12 cylinder ethanol/gasoline flex fuel model. The envirionmental concession.
What other features would the "Troll" include?
