Now i understand it :D , i was read wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrol...a#Novas_abroad ) and then i uderstand the "urban legend" about the Nova. in first place the Chevy Nova never has been sold in europe, the nova in europe is this( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Corsa ). here the nova was a small and cheap car.

* And here in Spain when you say, "este coche no va" you are saying "this car doesn't start" but in Spain the nova was called corsa.

There are no modern-day Novas in the US at all. Just the 62-79 Chevy models.

Novas lost their popularity in the US when It became a joint venture between Chevrolet and Toyota in the 80s. Corolla and Nova were the same cars. It was the death of many cars at the time.
Its what killed the Chevy Luv... it was the same as the Toyota T1 Truck.

Ok , now i understand, i don't know this about the american nova, but ,

Phaeton, in 1972 they came with the following: (from Wikipedia)
