The Chrysler group and Chery Automobile Co. have resumed discussions concerning Chery building a car for the newly "freed" American car builder. These talks had already begun a while back. They were however thwarted when DaimlerChrysler's future was being decided.
At the moment, two models are being discussed for export and would be sold under the Chrysler Group brand. One model, already sold in China, is a small car that Chrysler plans to transport to Mexico and Central and South America to be assembled for sale in those markets.
The other model presently being negotiated would be a production version of the Hornet concept car developed by Chrysler. So far, both Chery and Chrysler have agreed to build this new vehicle in China. Production could start by 2010.
