Help Identify a car

OK...I'm lost on this and didn't get a picture.

Last night on the way home I past a grey midsized sedan that appeared to be early 90's euro style. slim exposed headlights similair to a 95ish accord. square decklid.

The only identify mark was on the left of rear deck lid. If I recall it start with "SA" and I want to say salvient? saviant? something along those lines.

I know, not much to go on.

Sterling?

That? Is a Sterling sedan.

There was an eagle version of that- possibly the premier?

The Eagle and Sterling have nothing in common, other than both brands are dead. The Eagle pictured is a rebadged Renualt, while the Sterling was based on an Acura.

Doesn't fit with the "SA" but looks like an accord:

Sterling appears to be correct.

possibly a later model

Amazing how much knowledge of off-model weird cars in on here

I was referring to the eagle beinf related to the dodge, not the sterling- though I didn't know they were Renaults.

Dodge Monaco/ Eagle Premier Worst. Car. Ever. Dodge marketing the renault 25.... Great idea.

This was a left over contract from when Chrysler picked up AMC.

And yes they were the worst car ever made , ever pull a trans out of one? Bring a rain coat (and I am not joking )

Sterling is a Rover-build Acura Legend, with a couple of changes thrown in - they were built during the time when Rover cooperated heavily with Honda and built a lot of Honda-designed cars with a few changes.

IIRC the originally started out with the Honda-designed but Rover built 2.7 V6, but were later available with the Rover 2l T16 engine which is supposed to be a pretty good engine.

I've never touched a Premier but I fail to see how they're "the worst car ever made" and they really helped provide ChryCo a way forward; lots of ideas and tech went on from these to become the LH.

In reply to pres589:

Dunno about the worst CAR ever, but they certainly had one of the worst engines ever. 3.0 PVR V6 sucketh most grieviously.
