Letter: Naming the Nova

Sir: As far as I am aware, any discussion of whether the Vauxhall Nova sold well in Spain (report, 13 July; letter, 16 July) is irrelevant, as this car was always sold throughout Europe as the Opel Corsa. Only in the last couple of years Vauxhall has adopted this name for the Nova's successor, just as Opel has now rebranded its Kadett as the Astra, a familiar name on British roads for over a decade.
