Lutz Parle Francais: GM Exec Shows Off His Flair

Doing our week-long excursion to the Paris Motor Show, one of the more interesting sights was GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz. Sure, the Audi R8 was fabulous and the speculation over the Rick/Carlos meeting was exciting, but watching Lutz deal with journalists is always great theater. Paris being Paris, of course, the Lutz road show is translated into French. The product development genius speaks four languages, as you may have heard, but our basic cable plan doesn't receive TF1, so we rarely get to see him in action.

In this exclusive video from the show floor, watch Lutz deal with the French journalists as easily as he slices and dices the Americans. We're waiting for our French speaking managing editor to provide a full transcript.
