WORLD EXCLUSIVE! #NAIAS: FIRST REAL-LIFE EXTERIOR Pictures Of GAC Group's GS4 Before Its Unveiling IN TWO DAYS

If you're not familiar with Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) you better study up. That's because GAC is making an appearance at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS).

One critical thing to understand about GAC is that it has partnered up with the likes of Fiat, Honda, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and Toyota. This allows it to produce foreign-branded products for sale in China.

While that's already interesting to understand, we have something even cooler for you. We have a world exclusive before the company's press conference happens on Monday. We've been shown the company's all-new GS4, which is a compact sport-utility vehicle. This is the first unveil of a GAC product OUTSIDE of China.

According to GAC the company is planning to make its way to The States and Europe, although no exact timeline has been given.

In the meantime, take a look at the alll-new GS4 and let us know what you think about this little sneak peek.

Now that China is entering the market, GM, Ford and Chrysler will have to be afraid.

But everyone else? They don't really have anything to worry about.

Ok let's get stupidly close and shoot a dozen frames and post all of them because we are too undiscerning to pick the best shots...oh wait...let's wait for a photographer not a Nikon owner to shoot pix.

The shots are what a 12 year old fanboy would have shot.

As for GAC...FCA partnering with a Chinese firm is 1000% brilliance.

And when will you ever grow up and stop being a racist? America just has too many racists who have too much inferiority complex towards the blacks and the Asians.

It's not racism. It's knowing what I like and dislike. With the exception of Mazda (I think the current 6 is one of the best looking in its class) Asian design is generally too over the top and gimmicky for me. They try too hard and generally fail in terms of design. Most of my preferences from watches, to home design, to clothing is generally reserved and simple.

BTW..I love how JDM had to pull the race card when seeing an opposing opinion. Sounds just like Al Sharpton.

I've seen a lot of racists from America, and whenever they get scared to be called a racist, they always pull the Al Sharpton card.

Pretty funny, jeffgall, but you should grow up and just admit the fact that the Japanese make all the good appliances and good cars for the American consumers (Not to mention Chinese as well), and the black people practically run a lot of industries of America.

The U.S. can not survive without the Japanese, Chinese and the black people.

Ford + Hyundai design / 2 = this stuff.

Very uninteresting, but should blend right in.

Wow-You wont have to go to Wal-Mart to by something Chinese anymore. I assume it meets North American safety standards. I hope it does not have any carthenogenic materials in its manufacture. Previous Chinese products, especially in the building industry, have been known to have these kinds of issue's, let alone pet food. Further up until now no Chinese designed and built auto product,without Western intervention and guidance, had ever met North American safety standards. It will be interesting to see how these cars sell. The photos look industry average. The question is how do they drive and how is the build quality?
