Rover 800: Glorified Honda Accord(?) w/lots of chrome & fake wood strips
Rover 600: Glorified Honda Civic w/lots of chrome & fake wood strips
Rover 400: Own design, getting there.

Engines: some Honda, some own designs.

Reliability: so-so, bordering on OK.

Still can't compete with Audi. Company now owned by BMW.
