  One year on, the market has changed dramatically from that interview. I'm wondering how would his opinion might differ in today's market.  Bob is truly one of the last truly great automotive minds. Piech has passed as has Marchionne and Iacocca. Bobs appetite for product is still incredible at 90+ years of age. He's a true car man.

  Used to open Road & Track and go straight to his column.  Don't always agree with him but I respect his insight and ideas.

  MotoMan, at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3weEmInfvQ&amp;t=2550">42:30</a> you and Mr. Lutz spoke about Morgan. &nbsp;You may not be aware that Morgan is no longer family owned, having been bought by the parent company if Aston Martin though it appears they remain pretty autonomous in operations. &nbsp;Also, they don&apos;t have a waiting list any longer. &nbsp;They push off all of their production to their dealers. &nbsp;I suspect if you want a new Morgan, go to a dealer and they can probably fix you up with a new one within a week or two.

  I just bought 2020 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T and love everything about it, the problem is people ( many women) forget that while they get a better view being higher, later that advantage disappears. Maybe self parking is what is needed for women to drive more cars.

  Another really good interview Motoman. Really found it interesting that everyone basically makes the same 4-cylinder engine, that&apos;s a lot of duplication of effort and use of resources that could be better spent elsewhere.

  This is a good example how people can be trapped in their past experience.

  great interview Motoman. Bob is always a great guest and I appreciate how he cuts through the crap. He really does seem to have an axe to grind with Tesla. He has never had a good word to say about Tesla. I would have liked to hear his opinion on Porsche. As a Porsche fanboy, I hope they can keep going and not dumb the company down to mass market like BMW has. I agree with you guys with BMW, it is just a mess now. I miss the company that could put out a 2002 or the early 2000&apos;s M5 and M3, and the Z8. I hope Porsche can maintain their integrity, but still remain in the future what they are and not become a country club toy, relic like Aston Martin and Ferrari

  Would love to hear Bob&apos;s view now. Great perspective and clear POV. Even on Tesla where he got it wrong, but I like that he isn&apos;t neutral and would love to hear round 2. Subscribed.

  Gotta say, Motoman, in a cozy setting like this I think a shotgun boom would be a better option than headsets.

  Always nice to hear Mr. Lutz sincere and direct answers to questions others are avoiding to answer. Just as the conversation was getting to the topic of my beloved Corvette the interview ended. I wish to hear his view on new C8 and some other topics. Maybe there is a good idea on getting some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/askmotoman">#askmotoman</a> episode with Mr. Lutz as a guest and answering some good questions.
