I don't get what you are saying here, friend.
I see a great advantage here. GM could get more economies of scale on engine production, pick up the valuable Jeep assets (so that the "loss" of Hummer would be no big deal).
They'd get all of the Mercedes stuff out of the Chrysler cars, thus not having to pay Stuttgart their royalty money. The General has been trying to sell the Ren Cen. They could do that and move into Auburn Hills. That would put them closer to some of their production/engineering facilities. It keeps Chrysler out of the hands of Nissan/Renault. The new, emerging firm gets a bigger piece of the government bailout money. The only main drag is that the, once merged General would have to do some quick cutting of fixed expenses. Oh, yes, anti trust/monopoly problems at the DOJ.
