Guangzhou-Honda Linian Prototype

Andrew Didorosi — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:30:00 EST

The Linian is a cooperative project between the Guangzhou Automotive Group (GAG) and Honda, bringing together the visual aspects of a Honda S2000, new Nissan 370Zish headlights and just a touch of Saturn Astra in the rear. There are no details available regarding engine choices, drive layout or just about any information at all for that matter (probably because it will never be produced). The badge adorning that scowl of a front fascia is neither GAG, nor is it Honda, meaning this is most likely the logo of the newly established GAG-Honda design studio. Just imagine all of the tasty vittles just waiting to pour out of that dream factory. [ABChina]

Ghangzhou Auto Coupe Cabrolet Concept For When The Sun Is Shining Or The Clouds Are Raining Acid

Matt Hardigree — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:30:00 EDT

Unlike Chery, Geely or Great Wall, China's Ghangzhou auto (GAG) isn't well known in the west. This is because the company currently focuses on producing domestic market Accords for Honda and Camrys for Toyota. Though we've seen some wild concepts from the company, including the GAG A-HEV Hybrid, we haven't seen much in the way of production. Thus it was surprising to see the new Coupe Cabriolet concept, which looks close to a vehicle that could see production using Guangzhou motors or something sourced from a Japanese partner. This model would compete with the BYD F8, made by our old friends at Build Your Dreams.

Guangzhou International Auto Show: GAG A-HEV Hybrid

Matt Hardigree — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:15:00 EST

The Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAG) revealed this A-HEV hybrid vehicle concept at the Guangzhou International Auto Show (no coincidence there), which could be an indicator of the design direction GAG intends to take. Currently, GAG reproduces Honda and Toyota models for domestic-only consumption. Like other Chinese carmakers, the company is being encouraged by the central government to develop original, Chinese-branded automobiles. And when the central government asks you to jump...

The A-HEV is also an indicator that the company plans to invest in efficient and affordable automobiles. GAG recently announced a new factory that will be able to put out a mid-to-high class sedan around 2010, with approximate production of 100,000 cars a year. [SINA Eng]
