Insanity for a company that already has an excess of overlapping products and under competitive products, especially considering that Chrysler isn't exactly right up to chop at the moment. Imagine the amounts of pissed off costumers from cutting brands, let alone the costs. Maybe if GM was strong, but let's face it, they could disappear soon.

If anything were to happen at all, a technological agreement may make sense. Working together on something like a midsize RWD platform, or subcompact FWD platform would cut costs and get out an exciting product that both companies are in dire need for.
