FILES-US-DETROIT-AUTO SHOW-GM
(FILES) Robert Lutz, General Motors Vice Chairman, speaks to the media during a press preview at the North American International Auto Show January 12, 2009 in Detroit, Michigan. Reports on February 14, 2009 anounced that General Motors is losing legendary global "car czar" Bob Lutz at a critical time for the US auto industry, which is facing a deepening economic downturn and has failed to stem a decades-long loss of market share to foreign rivals.Lutz, 76, will step down from his current role as chair of global product development on April 1, a day after GM presents its final viability plan to the Treasury Department in exchange for 9.4 billion dollars in loans needed to save the automaker from bankruptcy. His retirement is just the latest in a series of high-profile departures as the Detroit Three radically downsize their operations and struggle to stay afloat. AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA/FILES
