My first car was also a '70 Nova but I think the name is forever
ruined after seeing the early '90's Toy-let with a few miles on the
odometer. The Toyota Corolla was rebadged as a Chevy Nova and built
in California for a few years. The ugliest Novas were the light blue
metallic ones with rust starting around the edges. It was the crappiest
looking thing outside of the Pontiac version of the first Kia import. Called
the LeMans, that was also a sore sight for eyes. Pontiac and Chevrolet ruined
these venerable nameplates. Chevrolet should stick with the Cobalt name
and just build a better Cobalt. The name sounds like its built tough, like the
Chevy truck slogans.
