Can't think of a more savvy senior car industry exec than Lee Iacocca -- The US auto industry owes him a lot. A true "car guy" through and through.  :'(

I grew up watching him doing Chrysler commercials.  Wish he hadn't done that commercial with that scumbag Snoop Dogg though.

I liked the guy. Didn't like his Pinto or K car , but they had their place. I should go buy his book and read it.

As good as they get at doing his job.

His commercials inspired confidence.
