Despite rumors that have been floating around since the debut of the Hornet concept in Geneva this year, Volkswagen will not be providing Dodge with a platform to produce a B-segment vehicle.
According to an article that’s due for publication this Monday in the German magazine Automobilwoche, VW’s bid to share its Polo’s underpinnings was too high for the German-American automaker. However, DaimlerChrysler’s plans to produce the Hornet or a similar vehicle will not be thwarted, as D.C. is still the process of negotiations with Chinese, Japanese and European manufacturers.
Although this may be a small hurdle for Dodge’s new sub-compact, the relationship between VW and Dodge to produce a mini-van has been left intact.
