It seems like too good of an idea to actually happen, there is probably a hidden law or an unwritten rule against that.

The thing is that their short term greed took priority over long term company health. By the time they realized their problem, costs had already spiraled out of control and their reputation had been ruined. Even if they DO make good cars, everyone will just bash them anyway (as seen in this very thread). It will take a lot of work to turn this giant sinking ship around and keep it afloat.
