Yep, Rover decided that a rebadge of the Integra was in order and took the unprecedented step of doing no restyling whatsoever.
Thankfully, it only happened in Oz :clapping:

(Australia) Australian Rover 416i
Production 1985—1989
Body style(s) 5-door hatchback
Engine(s) 1.6 L I4
Related Honda Integra

As part of the collaboration between Honda and Jaguar Rover Australia, a rebadged version of the first-generation Honda Integra five-door hatchback was sold in Australia as the Rover 416i. Produced from 1985 (five years before the R8 Rover 400) to 1989, the 416i was originally available only as a single model, but higher SE and Vitesse specification were later added. The three-door Integra was also sold in Australia as a Honda. [1]
