Isn't this the Coupe version of the Acclaim?  |

It's the coupe version of the Ballade...which was the Honda version of the Acclaim.
So, yes.
as I've said many times before, I'd love to badge it as a Triumph, that would make for some double-takes!

I see. So were Triumph and Ballade the same company, or did they just share / sell / buy designs from one another?
Just like the double take with the Fiesta and Mazda 121..........!

Austin Rover (Triumph's then-owners) shared development on the Ballade/Acclaim. Rover continued after that too...a lot of recent Rovers had a Honda counterpart.

And the new City-Rover's just a Tata Indica. Everyone does that. Vauxhall/Opels have been Chevy-badged in the US for a good few years, even the Chevette.

ewww.. 70's Honda's  The Prelude in question shares similarities with the Honda Civic of the time as well as the other crappy Honda's of the time, Accord etc. I assume these were probably rebadged as other things in other places as are a lot of vehicles. The Isuzu Bighorn is also rebadged as a Honda something-or-other. Apparently one of the most rebadged/branded cars is the Suzuki Swift, which is also the Holden Barina. |
