    The US-market Rover 800, which was a Honda/Acura Legend underneath? Yes!

    The only good part of the Sterling was the engine, which came from Honda. The rebadged Land Rover obviously had a Rover V8, which was a total turd...

    And yet, (maybe due to Camel Trophy) I yearn for a 98 Disco 1 with a diesel and a manual.

    And only Rover would make a Honda unreliable...

    The Discos still have a cult following. It's the Range Rovers that are junk, especially the older ones...

    More towing than most Tacoma owners (myself included) will probably ever do.

    My dad had one of those when I was a kid. 4 seats. Super easy to shift. The exhaust kept rusting out; the shop that sold him an exhaust with a lifetime warranty lost out on that deal. :rofl:

    Funny exhaust story..the main pipe on my 2010 Tacoma had a rust hole last fall that I had replaced. The exhaust lasted longer than the frame without rotting!

    There was one just like that in green in my last neighborhood. Spotted it the day I moved in, and about 3 months later I finally decided to go knock on the door. It was gone, they scrapped it. Still haven’t stopped kicking myself for not going over there sooner. :(

    I think they put the minions on the car because it looks vaguely similar to Lucy Wilde's car from the movie...

    I can see that connection, that makes a little more sense.
