Guangzhou Auto and Honda have been in business for a few years now, Guangzhou Auto originally teamed up with Peugeot to bring French motoring to the Chinese masses, unfortunately Peugeot didn’t want to bring all their cars to China and offered up a tatty old 504 instead. We guess they thought if the Santana is selling well, then so will the 504! Sadly it went down like a lead brick, Peugeot retreated from the Chinese market and didnt come back for a few years. Guangzhou Auto then teamed up with Honda to take on the Chinese market, and have done quite well together. The Honda Oddysey, Fit, and Accord are all made by the Guangzhou Auto company.
A while back we posted about Guangzhou Auto, and Honda getting ready to launch a brand new indpendent brand in China using Guanzhous workforce and Honda technology together for the common good, the brand is going to be launched at next months Guangzhou auto show, where we will be able to see their first sedan - we are told that the sedan is based around the 2007 Honda Accord.
Guangzhou Autos own brand, one to look out for!
