The speculation got a boost after DaimlerChrysler announced a $1.5 billion operating loss in its Chrysler division which played a large role in dragging down the automaker's third-quarter profit by 37 percent. A statement was later released by DaimlerChrysler confirming that the Chrysler Group is “not-for-sale”.

Overall sales fell 8 percent to $44.6 billion (€35.2 billion), after the group experienced a 26 percent decline at Chrysler to $12 billion (€9.5 billion).

“We have taken dramatic steps to reduce production and shipments to address the inventory situation in the U.S. and we continue to work to find new ways to eliminate waste, lower our costs and improve quality,” Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda said in a statement.
