Guangzhou Automobile Group
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)
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
