	As far as I know, yes, it was.

and it was the PRV V6... Maybe you're thinking of the 3500cc V8 that
Rover's used for years?

	Well, if I look at the pictures, I can see the resemblance to the S II.
The front is pretty close- but then again, anything with the quad
rectangular lights looks similar.  The overall shape is pretty similar,
IMHO.... but I was on the road next to one last week and it's HUGE in
comparison.  I was looking up to the guy like he was in a mini-ute or
something.  Didn't slow him down, tho, we were both going over 100.  <whoops>
	I think it's also the color of my car that helps... it kinda looks like
bare metal.  Oh well, to each his own.
