Do you notice that GM and Chevy keep changing the names of their cars. Vega, Chevette, Nova, Cobalt, Cruze.

You get the impression that they are trying to make people forget their experiences with the older cars.

Civic and Corolla have been around for thity years.

Wait right there! The SS Nova’s were outstanding and affordable street cars. Many came equipt with potent 350 / 396 and 454’s turning in low 13’s right off the dealer’s lot.

...as for the Vegas and Chevettes, never heard of them. (LOL)

LOL. I never thought of it that way. Nissan Maxima debuted in 1976 and my 99 is still running like brand new. Gets 29MPG at EPA conditions. A brand new accord gets the same thing.

I can think of many American models though: Mustang - '64, Corvette - '53, Town Car, Taurus, Explorer, Wrangler, F150, LeSabre
