Hornet prototype — homely enough to sell to GM
Word out of Detroit…has Chrysler almost ready to sign and seal a deal with Chinese automaker Chery Automobile.
DaimlerChrysler had previously told us that it really needed a partner if it were going to succeed at the low-margin end of the lineup, where Chery can certainly help with one of its small car platforms. The most likely vehicle coming out of this partnership would be the Dodge Hornet concept in production form.
The article is a dozen weeks old. I’m mentioning it because CCTV9’s “Biz News” noted this morning that Daimler-Chrysler is in China to sign off on the deal. So, maybe it actually will come to pass.
