The explanation you gave for "Nova" acronym was interesting and made me realize how globally connected GM is...or was.

I've mentioned before GM only had one parent car company in Australia named Holden. Over the years Holden have produced Novas, Omegas, Ventura's and Apollos. They were all small cars however I find it interesting that's where the naming came from ....years ago.

Took the Olds for a spin on the weekend, it's a head turner, but that's only because no one knows what it is.

Regards

Marcus
