As recently as two years ago <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/21/chrysler-and-cherys-lovechild-not-ready-for-export-yet/">Chrysler and Chery were more than cozy</a> and working on Chinese-market products that would eventually make their way this way. Nothing ultimately came of it, but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler">Chrysler</a> hasn't given up on the Chinese dream. Or more accurately, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/fiat">Fiat</a> hasn't given up on the Chinese dream on behalf of Chrysler. <br />
<br />
Fiat, which has had its own setbacks in trying to find the right joint venture required to do business in China, is <a href="http://autonews.gasgoo.com/auto-news/1011189/Fiat-to-sign-Chinese-car-alliance-today-in-Rome.html">now working with Guangzhou Auto</a>. It isn't clear how or even if Chrysler would immediately try again, since The Pentastar's "models were as popular as Chen Shui Bian towards the end of their tenure."<br />
<br />
Another route would be for the Chrysler Group to let Jeep lead the charge, since the Jeep brand and small SUVs are a more welcome option for Chinese buyers. It is inevitable that Chrysler will keep trying to crack the world's largest auto market, and if we were presumptuous enough to suggest a way to do it, we'd only need two words: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/03/01/geneva-motor-show-dodge-hornet-concept-world-premiere/">Dodge Hornet</a>.<br />
