    Apparently this is just an urban legend to put the nova down as usual

    Which country designed the Vauxhall Nova / Opel Corsa A ? Germans I'd guess?

    Which country made vauxhall nova's ? was it spain ? Zarangoza in spain,

    Which country made Opel Corsa's ? As above

    Which country made the Nova SPORT ? As above but Vauxhall chucked a box of bits in the boot at the port, box contained the important bits

    Which country designed the Nova SPORT ? Vauxhall came up with the concept, so England, Designed for Rally Homologation. Andrew Durden is regarded as the Father of the Sport

    why is there an OPEL and a Vauxhall and theyre called corsa and nova why didnt they just call it vauxhall nova everywhere ? They didnt want to?

    Was the Nova Sport a 1.3 with 150 HP ? (heard this somewhere ) Not to my knowledge, although the Corsa Sprint (Europes Nova Sport if you like) had more power with Irmscher injection
