Guangzhou Roadster Concept - We want one.

Guangzhou have been showing off various concept cars at previous automotive shows in China, but now that the auto show has made it to its own back yard in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Auto (JV partner to both Honda, and Toyota) appears set to want to show its future wares in the best possible light. The below roadster concept is just one example of what Guangzhou Auto had on display, and if the end production car looks anything like this, then Guangzhou Auto will have a customer in China Car Times.

More information on the above concept is not currently available, but we will update our readers when needed. We certainly think this is one model that could put the currently not so well known Guangzhou Auto on the automotive map.

Fiat sells platforms to Guangzhou Autos

Guangzhou Autos are eager to start their own branded car range, and they appear to be going about it in the right way. Guangzhou have signed deals with Toyota to use the 08 Camry platform, and they are now on the verge of signing a contract with Fiat to take control of an auto platform, sources close to the deal, which has yet to be signed, say that platform may actually be the old Fiat Siena platform that Nanjing Auto and Fiat worked on until recently.

Guangzhou may be aiming for the mid size sedan segment with the Camry based car, from 2.0l to 3.0l sized cars, but if Guangzhou snag the Fiat platform they could also be working on 1.3l to 1.6l sized cars which would make for a cheap low end compact or hatchback car.
