One recent blog post is about the future plans of General Motors. In another, Mr. Lutz shares his opinions about the results of a recent automobile quality survey. These posts have anywhere from 40 to 150 reader comments.

There are many other companies with blogs including Microsoft, Boeing, and Sun Microsystems.
