Lighten up! Obviously the Nova wasn't named "no go".....that was a JOKE.
I wasn't 'throwing stones', I was just making a funny. :-)
However, when you say "no va" (pronounced no-vah) to someone south of
the border they will think "no go", not that you are referring to an old
Chevy. Again, it was a joke, much like the other references to the
Tercel, etc.
BTW......Fiero means "proud" in Italian, so it isn't made-up.
