What are your thoughts on the Rover Sterling cars that were sold in the US?

Sterling Cars, 1987-1991. The Rover 800 series was an executive-class car that had been co-developed with Honda, the Japanese version becoming the first generation Honda/Acura Legend. Because Rover's earlier entry to the US, with the SD1 had been a disaster that had damaged the reputation of the Rover brand in the US it was decided to market the 800 in the US using a new brand, Sterling (the Rover Sterling was the flagship 800 model for European markets). US versions of the 800 used Honda's V6 in 2.5 and, from 1988, 2.7 litre form. Sterling sales in the US were initially quite strong however early cars developed build quality and reliability problems. There were also corrosion issues and Sterling fell to the bottom of J.D. Power surveys while its sibling, the Acura Legend, topped them (in 1988). Sales dropped off quickly from a peak of 14,000 cars in 1987. The Rover Group persevered with the Sterling project for several more years and though the quality issues were addressed the reputational damage was done and finally Sterling Cars withdrew from the US market in 1991. The Rover 800 Coupé was developed as part of the second generation 800 range specifically for the US market though it was never sold there.

P.S. Um, no, your Allies are not sad because many of your Allies knew that America is a lame duck for quite a long time and they are working on a defense plan "B" where America is no longer needed...!!!

Whether America's existence as a leader of the Western world has a political future will largely depend on whether Ukraine will protect its affiliation with the Western world, or whether the American political elite will once again surrender the security interests of Eastern Europeans in favor of quarter profits in dealings with the Kremlin...!?

Sell ​​Ukraine to Moscow and you will end up like the previous useful fools who signed a "peace treaty" at the expense of Czechoslovakia's security in Munich on September 30, 1938...!

Mini update 9/16/24:

For everyone worried about the Committee mark up some time this week:

With Congress breaking on September 30th (Proof: http://www.house.gov/legislative-activity/2024-09-16), there’s realistically no time for a full vote.

With that being said, we still have to worry about lame duck session. For those who don’t know what the term “lame duck” means politics wise:

Lame duck session is post election November, so really, anytime after Nov. 5th to Inauguration Day in January.

Please continue to call the Energy & Commerce Committee & tell them to vote ‘No’ to KOSA this week.

Remember: A Committee mark up is not the same as an actual vote.

Spread this please!

Keep calm & keep fighting!!

more jetts he & hero team were helping w a fundraiser for new wildlife center like 10 yrs ago (hes 22 here) and event organizer Nadia (and head of hero HQ ) thought jenny would be a responsible person to assign the tshirt cannon

he wasnt! he shot his friend Joe (superhero coworkers Duckman) point-blank in the head with it 'on accident'

SCREENSHOTS I GOT FROM THE JEREMY JORDAN LIVESTREAM YESTERDAY. especially love the comments on his duck drawings. he was very proud of some of them since he needed to practice before the stream. he admits he does not draw much lol

and here's Lucifer's signature that Jeremy came up with: a cursive capital L attached to a pentagram!

the stream was SO FUN and literally only felt like 20 minutes even tho it was almost an hour

at one point he mentioned he's making pancakes with olive oil now since he has high cholesterol, and that he LOVES how the pancakes turned out. someone responded:

(later someone joked he should make pancakes with bacon grease and he almost shouted (not angrily) "DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE? I JUST SAID I HAVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL. I just said. I had high cholesterol. Are you TRYING. To kill me."

anyway back to screenshots lol)

"Take that, depression!" was a popular quote to write on prints, and he said he hoped we're not depressed and it was very sweet

some more quotes written during the stream and other notes:

"I'm gonna be signing these prints of my boy Lucifer, the short king of Hell"

he drank both a cold smoothie and hot tea during the stream. "Doesn't make any goddamn sense, but here we go."

"It's never too late to fuck up--too late to fuck shit up" (a legitimate accidental stammer. but still perfect in its own way)

"Every time I hear the name 'Shay' I think of my daughter's friend at school. My daughter's obsessed with a friend named Shay. 'S all she talks about. 'Shay Shay Shay Shay Shay Shay.' Shay and Madeline. It's like 'You can be your own person. Clara. You are your own HUMAN.' …HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATHERINE."

hopes to go to some conventions for Hazbin Hotel. more likely to go to cons in New York, New Jersey (where he lives), or Philly area

"He's just a li'l cutie. :3 Is he really da bosh? :3" (wondering if Lucifer really is the Big Boss of Hell Himself or if it's just more of a title)

"Hope you're not depressed"

" 'Write something Lucifer would say to cheer someone up.' And I think Lucifer would think that… 'SINGING MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!' At least when it comes to rebuilding your relationship with your daughter."

"Guess what's in my smoothie. There are six ingredients. Go."

"…said draw a little duck, so I drew the smallest duck I could. (holds print up to camera then says in small high-pitched voice:) It's a little duck!"

MORE QUOTES UNDER THE CUT. THIS POST IS GETTING LONG ASFQJSKSKSKKS

_____

about his smoothie again: "Obviously, I just went to the gym. So I gotta have some kinda supplement in there. ... WHAT'S THE BASE, Y'ALL? YOU GOTTA HAVE A BASE." (someone could use that audio and give a character a bass guitar lol)

(still about people guessing smoothie ingredients:) "WATER? Why would I put water in my smoothie. (mutters:) Water is for losers. ... Kale! -grins and points at camera- That's it! You win. That's my smoothie."

his smoothie was blueberries, bananas, strawberries, protein powder, almond milk, kale

"…with a hUUGE shmiley faysh! :3" (about a little " =) " smile he wrote with an autograph)

"THAT DUCK IS CUTE!"

"We love, we stan Lilith"

AGGRESSIVELY, ABOUT A JOKE HE MADE: "GET IT?"

Some fatherly advice from Lucifer: "Don't fuck up your lives like I did 😎"

HE SANG THE START OF HELL'S GREATEST DAD AND WANTS A MIMZY-LESS VERSION THAT ACTUALLY HAS AN ENDING QSJFKSKKSKS

he's only seen Hazbin Hotel once, and he had "~champagne fountains, caviar mountains, that's just to staaart~" going through his head for the two+ years between recording his lines and the show airing. he wasn't able to tell anyone it because of non-disclosure stuff, and eventually he even forgot what that song line was from. but it still went through his head

"[Person he was signing an autograph for] is a bi girl [bisexual], and that's pretty baller"

"AN INCREDIBLE DUCK YOU SHALL HAVE"

"Take that depression!! Quack"

"Hold please!" (i just liked imagining Lucifer saying almost any small thing)

Jeremy Jordan says Lucifer is short, and not just that all the other characters are tall (i cannot confirm that that is canon even tho that's what i want LOL) "What gives!? There are short people in this world, and they need some love"

someone asked what he thinks about OC x canon ships. he was confused about what OC means and then when the chat explained, he was confused about how "OC x canon" works. but he figured it out after thinking for a moment. "So basically everybody wants to fuck Lucifer. GOT IT."

"Am I going to Hell for this" (about all the pentagrams he's drawing)

"…so i just did a bunch of stars and hearts around Emery's name 💜"

someone asked about his favorite Hazbin Hotel song, and he answered that season 2 has a rock song he really likes 👀 👀

"(a requested phrase for an autograph:) 'Duck lord loves you no matter what.' ...Don't know what that particularly means but…"

ngl it's still pretty funny that kamala harris' voting record during her time as a senator ranks as far to the left as bernie sanders. and left-leaning people online Love bernie sanders. but bc she now has to court as many votes as possible as the official nominee for a Big tent party, she gets slapped with the "centrist" label. as if a timeline where bernie sanders becoming the official democratic party nominee wouldn't've seen him campaign further to the center just so he could win enough votes for the presidency lmao. there's no world where he would've won without doing that, being further to the left than the avg american, but if that's all it takes to be considered a "centrist" then idk! what do i know!

oh this is worse than 2016
