Nova was actually a damn fine car. We had a 78 Buick Skylark with the sweet 350 V8. It was comfy, quiet, smooth and just the right size. There is nothing like it today, is there?

Yes you are totally correct - I was thinking of the Vega!

If only they had code numbers instead of names...

My favorite is the upper-scale Cadillac Escalade, the Ostentatia.

I'm old fashioned -- or maybe just old (enough)....
I MUCH prefer when car models have actual NAMES (and then if there's a name/number that'st fine)

-- Chevy Nova.....Chevy II
-- Acura Integra
-- VW Beetle...

I cannot tell the difference between the various....alphabet 'names.'
It's been years...and I still don't know which is the Acura TLX, RLX...
I know Audi has "A"s, right? A10, Q10.
Cadillac has "alphabet" models now? TXS, TRX...WHO THE HELL KNOWS? ABC?, DEF?
Just give the car a frigging NAME? And then maybe add a letter "suffix" -- for the different option levels.

And the Chevy nova was made by Toyota for GM at their Fremont cal. Plant from 1985-1988
Was manufactured as a NUMMI subcompact based on the FWD Toyota Sprinter.
