Correct. And should the SPD ever consider a toppling of Merkel, it would also have to consider the possibility of new elections as a consequence, and since a coalition with the Left Party is highly unlikely at the moment while the SPD itself doesn't poll well, nothing good would come out of it for them.

I posted this diary more out of theoretical interest, and so that I can weave in some recent happenings...
