When Bob Lutz joined GM as head of vehicle design, he ordered the " vinyl siding" off the avalanche and other GM products. I think he also took the Astec out of its misery.

Bob Lutz was never head of GM's vehicle design. He was the vice chairman...and he did have a lot of influence on the product portfolio...but design was headed by Ed Welburn during his tenure.

This is correct, but just to re-iterate: Mr Lutz did have a lot of influence over design.

Any time he or Mr Welburn would make a pass through the studio we could expect to have to make changes.
