US car giant Chrysler wants to develop a supermini using a rebadged evolution of Nissan's Latio. This collaboration spells the end of Chrysler’s project to join forces with Chinese brand Chery.

The plan had been to launch and build the acclaimed Hornet – revealed as a concept car last year. However, the project will now be scrapped. Accor­ding to Chrysler, Chery is not ready to take on the job because it doesn’t have the necessary expertise to carry out the said project.

Chrysler plans to collaborate extensively with other car companies to help the American group meet its ambitious target of launching 12 new vehi­cles this year – these comprise three Chryslers, plus models from Jeep and Dodge.

Yet the process of simply buying and rebadging other brands’ cars to extend its product line-up is being viewed with caution by some industry experts.
