Another article.. Volkswagen is in advanced discussions with DaimlerChrysler about selling a large people carrier built in a Chrysler factory in the US, in the second co-operation between the two German carmakers. The move would help VW fill a gap in its product line-up after abandoning plans for an updated version of its 1960s classic Microbus. It is unlikely that VW would attract enough customers to justify developing and building its own model from scratch. It would also be positive for Chrysler, helping increase the utilisation of its people-carrier factories in the US and Canada, potentially boosting profits.
