Rover Sterling?

Wait, if you won't be on today, how will you tell if this one's right? I won't be here tomorrow (except breifly at 4AM or so).

Well, that's not what the car is called, at least not what I found it as. I just can't post the GTCG from here, but I wasn't sure I'd be on today at all.

Is it the hatchback version of this car:

EDIT: It's known as the Rover 800 outside of the US, is that the name you were looking for?

Does the fact that the taillights look like [very] old Accord lights have anything to do with the collaboration between Honda and Rover?

Honda and Rover collaborated on the Acura Legend/Rover Sterling, but I don't think the taillights were inspired by the Accord of that era (they're somewhat similar though, I agree).

Well, I guess you're right then. The car in the picture is a Sterling 827, and they were sold in the US for a couple years or so. The one in the picture is a 1989.

See, here's the car with the emblems not blacked out.

Yeah, let's go with that.
