Sterling flashback

Anyone else remember the Sterling?

This was the brand name of the Acura assembled in Britain a several years back, primarily characterized by different tail lamps and the "benefits" of a British computer/electrical system.

It just occured to me that I hadn't observed a living specimen on the road for a really long time. Since a lot of them were sold in SoCal, and you'd expect a better shot at longevity in our climate, I'm wondering if they are now extinct.

???

I see them around every so often. They reliability was awful. The main problem, like most British cars was the eletrical system. I know someone that is selling their 825SL.
