I hope he isn't referring to the Cobalt.

Out here there is a dealer who is giving the impression on his radio ads
that the Cobalt is co-produced with Toyota, but it is not, and there is a
small, very FAST disclaimer at the end of the ad that says the Cobalt and
Corolla are mentioned for comparison purposes only.

I hope the Cobalt moves better with the same engine than it's HHR twin
does...UGH!

Verifying that this is correct. I had one of those Nova's (Corolla), a 1985
one and it ran forever.

Is it true that "Nova" actually means "No Go" in a few dialects of spanish?

There is an old Chevy plant in Fremont California that was
taken over by Toyota and makes both Toyotas and Chevys now.
Both makes come off the same line.

It did? Why would you get rid of a car like that? One can not buy a car
today that will last forever

'No va' would essentially mean just that. Nova, single word, would not.
But in spoken Spanish,
it is close enough.
