What Nova means in Spanish

[druddle]

You may have heard this before but one of the reasons that GM called the Nova "Corsa" in Europe is because in Spanish, Nova means "wont go".

Hahahahaha.

Yeah, thats why Novas are called Corsas over there. All Nova GTEs are known as Corsa GSis. Weird. sh*te cars anyway

 

[Glennclio16v]

Did you know that "w*****" in Spanish is "Pajero"? Mitsubishi must had overlooked that one!!!

 

[nedbeard]

[Adams_16v]

So how come they called the Cavalier a Vectra then???

 

[bigmoose]

Maybe it is something to do with the Roundheads.

 

[Simon172]

Because Cavalier means "huge boaty rep-mobile" in spanish, french, german, polish, russian, czech, norwegian, african and indian.
