GM has reassigned Vice Chairman Bob Lutz and Group Vice President Gary Cowger to now focus on global
responsibilities: Lutz will lead global product development and Cowger on global manufacturing/labor. “With the ongoing
globalization of GM’s product development organization, and the implementation of our global architecture strategy, Bob
felt he needed to devote his efforts to product development full-time, and I agreed,” Wagoner said. “I’ll continue to
value his business advice and support, but Bob’s legacy at GM will be in our future cars and trucks. It makes sense for
him to devote his full energies to that critical task.”
