The Honda Crossroad? We got a very few of them in NZ. It's a D1 by a different name.

Rebadging for different markets was/is common, and often very weird. We got things where the economy version of a car was Ford, the premium version was Mazda, then the high-end models were sold as Ford again. Pontiac was sold under its own name for a while but then became Holden because Pontiac had no local pedigree. Vauxhall was sometimes sold as Bedford. It's all a big mess based primarily on who owns which name at what time.

The company in the UK was Vauxhall Bedford which produced cars and trucks and then bought out by General Motors and now recently been bought by PSA the French company that owns Peugeot Citroen. You can never tell who owns what these days as every company has another owner. The Honda D1 was a new one on me, you live and learn albeit that was many years ago before re-badging really got started.
