Okay so the best GM car was a Suzuki (CAMI) and someone could probably argue pretty strongly for the Nova while it was built in the NUMMI (Toyota) plant...
I was always fond of the Nova for 2 reasons.
1. Possibly an urban myth but it sold poorly in Mexico because the name translated loosely to "no go".
2. How the names of the one generation fit within the divisional naming structure.
Chev-Olds-Pontiac-Buick
Nova-Omega-Ventura-Apollo
N-O-V-A
