Kerkorian has lost it; Nissan is in bad shape and Renault is a domestic product only because the quality is so bad.

This reminds me of when Data General & Univac announced they were merging to form Unisys.
Some wag likened it to tying two stones together so that they would float better.

Renault? What's the matter,wasn't Yugo answering the phones when he called?

Actually, Nissan has turned it around, and Ghosn is in the process of turning Renault around. From what I read, modern Renaults are not all that bad.
This would mean that GM would be partially French, though.

Nissan is in bad shape? Best operating margins in the industry, and Ghosn is more talented than any of the dinosaurs running GM into the ground today. Renault's quality issues are in the past, and they are strong in Europe. GM would get a huge capital infusion that would assure the company does not go bankrupt. Would be good for shareholders, employees, to shake things up.

Generic Motors could use Nissan's design team. It might actually help their image in the passenger car market.

"General Motors convened an emergency board meeting Friday to discuss a proposal by shareholder Kirk Kerkorian to form an alliance between GM and Renault-Nissan, say two sources close to the board. "As Dandy Don Meredith used to say, "Turn out the lights, the party's over..."
