VIDEO from Medialink: Convertibles: Sold Out!

Business Wire, June 15, 2006

Summer is here, and there's nothing like putting the top down on a convertible and driving in the sun. But if you're thinking of buying a convertible soon, you may have to think again -- many are selling out.

Three very popular General Motors convertibles -- the Solstice, Sky and Pontiac G6 -- are sold out, according to Bob Lutz, GM's head of product development. Lutz was hired 5 years ago to revive GM's product line -- and the new convertibles are the start of what he hopes is more success.

Lutz says the key to GM's future is making higher quality automobiles and changing old beliefs about their vehicles. With GM turning a profit so far in 2006, Lutz's plan may be working.
