That wouldn't happen though. Only one would make it through.
GM's problem is that they have too many brands, and too little money to support them. If this hypothetical Super Manufacturer was created, you wouldn't have Ford and Chevy competing anymore. They'd pick and choose the best cars and put them into one lineup. So, as an example; one of each pair would probably be dropped:

Mustang/Camaro
Tarus/Malibu
Focus/Cobalt
Escape/Equinox
F-150/Silverado
etc./etc.

Personally, I'd like to not see any merging. What they need to do is strengthen themselves. If you think GM is cumbersome right now....imagine how bad this Super Manufacturer would be.........
