What means 'Sterling'? |

Probably just the name of the dealership the car came from. Sometimes car dealers put their own badges on the backs of cars, though I think it usually looks tacky and I wouldn't want it on a car I was buying. |

Sterling Honda is a Honda dealership - certainly in Ontario, Canada. |

My dad once had one of these, it was white and had a snubbed spoiler on the boot. The badge under the tail lights on the right side said 2.0i 4WALB 16v (or something). A lot of Accords of that generation that I've seen in Britain usually have badge saying EX-something. |

I thought Sterling was a make in the US that made clones of Rovers. Honda -> Rover is not so far... |

Sterling (a joint venture between Rover and Honda) did make cars for the US in the '80s, but they only made one car. It wasn't a clone of a Rover IIRC, but a rebadged Acura Legend. |

It was the Rover 800, which was jointly developed with Honda and was the counterpart of the Legend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_800 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_%28car%29 -- Last edit: 2007-01-18 23:30:33 |
