Chrysler and Nissan have officially canceled plans to work together on a number of platform sharing opportunities. Previous plans would have seen Chrysler supply Nissan with the next generation Titan pickup truck, in exchange for Nissan supplying Chrysler with a small car for international markets, as well as a rebadged Nissan Versa for South America.

With Chrysler now owned by Fiat, the U.S. automaker now has access to a long list of small car platforms at its disposal. Nissan, however, isn't so lucky. Nissan will continue to built the Titan pickup truck at its Canton, Miss., plant through 2011, but beyond that point the Japanese automaker has no plans.

"We're exploring our options," said Fred Standish, Nissan North America spokesman.

Nissan is now left with two choices, to either find another automaker who will supply a platform or to develop its own on an tight schedule. There is also the possibility that the Titan pickup could be scrapped entirely.

That's good new.. At least Nissan won't get ruined by them.. ;)

But sucks to hear about the possible scrapping fo the Titan.

Agreed, When I heard the next Titan was going to be a rebadged ram i was a little disappointed. So that aspect, I am happy to hear that will not happen. It is a little sad to think that the titan will only last for 1 generation. If I were looking for a full size pick up, it would either be a Silverado/ Sierra or a Titan. Only downfall with the Titan verses the GM's is the gas millage. What upsets me is that toyota can make such a crappy full size like a tundra and it sells like hotcakes. Nissan makes a far more capable truck and it doesnt do so well.
