Hornet To Be Built By Nissan?

Update: Story is available now. A few more details from the article: "The Hornet concept was a three-door hatchback with more than a passing resemblance to the Mini Cooper. Industry sources familiar with Chrysler's plans say the Hornet will likely be an upscale small car designed to compete against the Mini."

Automotive News is citing "sources" who say that the Hornet will be brought to life courtesy of Nissan. It was only recently that Nissan and Chrysler created a pact to manufacture vehicles for each other. If the Hornet design can be adapted to Nissan's platform and still look reasonably like the concept then I'm all for it. The Hornet is hot!
