GM's head of product development Bob Lutz works on building a stronger lineup.

DETROIT : General Motors' top brass have backed away from setting market share goals for the past 2 years, but Bob Lutz, the automaker's new product czar, isn't shy about it.

In an interview with USA TODAY Tuesday, he said GM should gain as much as 5 to 6 points of market share in the next few years, based on the cars and trucks he will be responsible for launching. That would bring GM's share to around 35%, a level it hasn't seen since the 1980s.

"The superb engineering and technological excellence I have seen" at GM combined with "excellent design that people recognize and love" will get the world's largest automaker to that share, he said.
