MILAN (Reuters) – If Fiat SpA fails to clinch a deal with Chrysler LLC, it may turn to the latter’s bigger rival General Motors Corp (GM) to gain the scale it needs to survive the worst industry crisis in decades. Instead, Fiat is offering technology and access to foreign markets in exchange for an entry into the U.S market and a minority stake in the struggling U.S. group.Faced with an April 30 deadline, Fiat Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne is working to get the support of Chrysler’s reluctant creditors and unions to close the deal If he fails, the U.S. government threatens to let Chrysler go bankrupt.A source close to Fiat told Reuters on Tuesday the car maker was determined to get a deal, but Marchionne has said he was looking for other partners “in Europe, North America, everywhere,” in case the talks come to nothing.Although some investors and analysts expect Fiat to try to buy Chrysler assets on the cheap if the car maker goes bust, most expect it to look elsewhere because it does not have the funds to spend on plants, let alone refit them to make its cars.Doubts have grown about its ability to pay off the 4.8 billion euros of debt due this year. Ratings agencies, for instance, have downgraded its debt to junk.For the first quarter, its net industrial debt is seen at 6.7 billion euros against 1.1 billion a year earlier, according to the median of analysts’ estimates compiled by Fiat ahead of the publication of results on Thursday.COST SAVINGSIn response to growing talk of a possible deal on GM’s Opel, Fiat Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has denied any interest, and a banker has told Reuters that Fiat’s talks with GM did not involve the German unit.But Max Warburton at brokerage Bernstein is convinced of the idea. In a report, he said a combined group would boost Fiat from No 6 to No.

2 in terms of market share in Europe and estimated cost savings at about 1.5 billion euros compared with 225 million with Chrysler.Another GM brand that is looking for a partner is Saab, but a Milan analyst dismissed this as a possibility for Fiat.”After you take over Saab, what do you have? You put it together with (Fiat’s premium sports car maker) Alfa Romeo and you have two weak brands,” he said.If Fiat still wants to enter to the United States without Chrysler, it could get its Indian partner Tata Motors to let it use its Land Rover and Jaguar dealerships to sell Alfa Romeo cars in the country.SG’s Michelis said he would not consider it a failure if Marchionne decided to pull out of the Chrysler talks. “He’ll be able to keep his head high and say that he tried but the terms were not good enough for Fiat,” he said.(Editing by David Holmes) Deals Italy.
