Chrysler is no longer in talks with Renault-Nissan, leaving General Motors the apparent lead candidate to acquire the US automaker, The Wall Street Journal said in its online edition Sunday.
A potential partnership with the Renault-Nissan automaker group appeared a possibility last month after reports Cerberus was looking to divest itself of the third largest US-based carmaker amid a continued slowdown in the global automotive industry. Last week Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Gohsn shrugged off the idea of talks with Chrysler as speculation.
