It seems like the problem is that the car itself is crap. The chassis isn't good and doesn't have good handling in the corners. Why would a new Honda power unit suddenly make McLaren a top team?
Honda + this:

+ Alonso

deserves some respect but it will not be easy and it's a gamble and if Alonso has a chance to get into a Red Bull ( Vettel's ) it's a difficult choice. Staying at Ferrari however seems like the worst option for him if he wants another WC.

Honda-McLaren sure sounds awesome from a historic perspective and most be tempting.
