Chrysler revs up for the IPO road

A public listing of US carmaker Chrysler could be on the horizon after banks were approached to discuss an IPO. This could help settle a valuation dispute between the group's owners, a union healthcare trust and Fiat, which holds 58.5 per cent and wants to buy more. Lex's Oliver Ralph and Nikki Tait discuss why Fiat is so keen to take full control of Chrysler and if the Italian carmaker is in a position to buy the rest of Chrysler.
