The Ascot Innova itself remained a JDM-only model, and a "Honda Primo" exclusive, with no JDM sister cars. It was the result of shared efforts with British partner Rover Group, and the car was sold as the European Accord, which was made in Swindon, UK and marketed in Europe as Honda Accord instead of the North American version. The European Accord and the Ascot Innova differ only slightly, with the Euro-Accord being wider and featuring framed windows. Normally, this type of vehicle with a sports car influence would have been sold at "Honda Verno", however because of its strong similarity to the Prelude, and "Honda Verno" already had a luxury sports sedan called the Honda Vigor, the Ascott Innova was assigned to "Honda Primo" instead, as "Honda Clio" had the Honda Legend.
