Vauxhall Nova didn't sell well in Spain. 'No va' = doesn't go.

Toyota's MR2 wasn't a hit in France. MR2 said in French sounds just like 'merde' = shit.

and those are both bullshit, by the way. i had to google the vauxhall version, but it was never sold in spain as a nova. it was a corsa and they actually changed it to nova for the british market. the chevy i didn't have to look up.

The Chevy Nova legend lives on in countless marketing textbooks, is repeated in numerous business seminars, and is a staple of newspaper and magazine columnists who need a pithy example of human folly.
