    I believe Honda and Rover had a partnership in the late 80's. That's where the Sterlings came from. They used Acura Legend Mechanicals and were built and styled by Rover.

      There was also a turbo Rover... which means the turbo motor should be able to be bolted into a CB7 with little or not modification. Nobody on here has done that yet.

        You so sure about that Deev? I don't seen anyone on here with a Legend motor, and that's what the Sterling was based on...

            Pretty sure it was the Ion. It was a somewhat covert operation, so if you went to a Saturn dealer, they probably wouldn't know it happened :P

                  I found them on ebay before... Eric, I think you and I talked about them a few months back. I can't find any evidence now, dammit!

                  And yeah, the Saturn Vue, at least the Redline version, is powered by a Honda V6. I've heard that the Ion was closely related to the new Civic, but I have no proof. I believe GM is using their Ecotec motors in anything performance... now, I wonder if that's anything like vtec...

                    When did Gm start using Honda motors?
                    I never heard or read anything on it.

                      The ION Redline uses a destroked version of the ECOTECH which is in fact based on a European GM engine, and was originally a SAAB engine.

                      The Honda powered Saturns I refer too are indeed the Vue and the Vue Redline.

                      Any Vue with a 3.5L V6 is Honda. The old 3.2 was a derivative of an old OPEL engine, that was also found in the deceased Cadillac Catera.

                      The dealers actually market the Vue as having a Honda engine, which is kind of ironic when you think about it...

                      A guy at work just bought one, and I asked if he knew it had a Honda V6. He said the dealer told him that and that he likes the no dicker sticker of Saturn, but he LOVES the engine in his new Vue.

                          yeah there was, its called rover 620ti google on that...

                          Also google on rover 623 and find out that it came with the H23....

                          The engine is completely different to the f series, it uses different mounts and has the same layout as the K-series (engine on the other side of the car)
                          It only made 200 hp i believe, so u'd (again) be better off swapping a H22.

                          I also played with this idea
                          Engine: 1997cc, 4 cylinder 16 valve turbo with intercooler. 197 bhp. Torque 174 lb ft.

                            Ecotec refers to the diesel and gas engines produced by General Motors in other words its nothing like vtec. Ecoec is a four cylinder DOHC engine based on a FIAT engine

                              GM went shopping a while back. Honda took some cash and gave them an engine.

                              Here's a quote from Ann Job, and auto writer:

                              (GM and Honda signed an unusual agreement in 1999 for this powerplant-sharing, which put the Honda-engineered and Honda-built 3.5-liter V6 into the Vue starting in the 2005 model year. Honda's new top executive in Japan has said, however, that he's not fond of such agreements and prefers that Honda engines be found only in Honda vehicles, so the current arrangement may not extend very far.)
                              Seems like that in these deals with Honda, the other company always comes out ahead.

                              Isuzu Oasis, anyone? My local dealer has a nice '98 they can't seem to move. 160,xxx miles and since it's a '98 has the F23 and other nice updates.
