Actually, the relationship is even closer than the allusion to the
Sterling. The last car manufactured/marketed by Triumph, the Acclaim, 
_WAS_ a Honda. Read the book about Triumph by Robson and Langworth.

BUT - this thread has seemed to stray from the original post, and for the
most part isn't offering any new insight. At the risk of being rude, why
don't we just stop the thread and stop taking cheap shots at each other?

Please?
