Honda Crossroad
2) Honda Crossroad. Strange, that looks like a Series 1 Land Rover Discovery. Wait a second. It is a Series 1 Land Rover Discovery. What’s it doing with all those Honda logos? The Crossroad was borne out of the Rover companies’ weird tie-up with Honda in the early 1990s (which yielded the ultrafine Rover 45). Honda needed SUVs something fierce, which is why they went begging and ended up with the Crossroad in addition to the Acura SLX (Isuzu Trooper) and Honda Passport (Isuzu Rodeo). The outcome for the Japanese market was the V8 powered mammoth Land Rover Disco. Sounds perfect for Tokyo.

Further proof that badge engineering is an accountant’s thing: The spelling of the car’s name on the wheel cover: Cro$$road. Hilarious.
Imagine paying for an Acura only to find out it’s really an Isuzu.
