The worst part about that story is when you realize that if they are willing to pay that much to each employee to leave, the value of the benefits they are giving up are worth more than that. Probably much more.

GM increases production of SUVs

US car giant General Motors is raising production of its largest sport utility vehicles (SUVs), despite fears that such cars are losing popularity.

It will build up to 12,000 extra full-size SUVs, but is cutting spending on its smaller models as buyers switch to more fuel-efficient cars.

Take the package, then move to Canada. Best of both worlds.

I never watch it, but apparently the 2007 Tahoe is being used on the Apprentice. I guess the Donald has gotten Amercia 'fired' up about buying one.

Although in all fairness I do think it is a darn good looking SUV.
