[net.auto] A Honda "5000 S" ???

No, but I can give you a preview of Audi's rumored answer to the
Mercedes 500 series and the big BMW's: A 5000 with a Porsche 928
engine.  Audi briefly held the distinction of the fastest prod-
uction sedan in the world with its 200 Turbo, but the Merc and the
Beamers are now faster.  Audi wants to settle the matter and close
the issue.  I wonder what Honda's answer will be.

try (first glance only) road & track april 1984, p 80D
there are about 3 paragraphs and 2 illustrations on the coming
connection between british leyland and honda for a large sedan known as
"Executive".
