Chrysler Group does not have a large SUV in its current lineup and would be keen to add another model above its Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen line of vehicles. The WSJ also claims that if a deal is struck, there would be no immediate plans for any other developments. Chrysler is already busy with several other partnership deals, including a possible future minivan with Volkswagen AG and a Chinese built subcompact car for sale in the US with Chery Auto.
This latest news comes just a day after German publication Manager Magazin reported that the CEO of GM, Rick Wagoner, was in talks with DaimlerChrysler CEO Dr. Dieter Zetsche about a possible purchase of the Chrysler Group.
