GAC Group (officially Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd) (Chinese: 广州汽车集团股份有限公司), (SEHK: 2238, SSE: 601238) is a Chinese automobile maker and a subsidiary of Guangzhou Automobile Industry Group, a holding company.
GAC is currently known for its Honda-branded auto producing joint venture with this Japanese automaker.
Declining to produce any commercial offerings, the 728,000 passenger cars it manufactured in 2012 placed GAC as the sixth largest Chinese automaker that year. The number of cars counted as passenger vehicles conflates consumer offerings and light commercial trucks and vans although GAC may not currently produce any of the latter.

Famous quotes containing the words automobile and/or group:
“Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain—at least in a poor country like Russia—and his vanity begins to swell out like his tyres. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“If the Russians have gone too far in subjecting the child and his peer group to conformity to a single set of values imposed by the adult society, perhaps we have reached the point of diminishing returns in allowing excessive autonomy and in failing to utilize the constructive potential of the peer group in developing social responsibility and consideration for others.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
