I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the Nova. It was a very nice car. But I think it's kind of a stretch to say that a new car couldn't "live up" to that name. In what way? Style? Maybe. Gas mileage? Performance? Handling? The current Cobalt would top the 60s Nova in most of those departments.
