They were really long lived cars too. I dated a girl who had one as a hand-me-down from her mom with around 300,000 miles on it when I stopped seeing her.
Friends of my parent's had a Nova, it lasted forever too. It got hit and she hated it so she drove it around not using 4th or 5th gear (with the engine just roaring) for a month before the engine finally quit. At a time when most "American" cars would maybe make 100,000 miles the Toyotas lasted double or triple that. Its those cars that made Toyota's name in reliability and just ruined the big 3. -Curt Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:43:19 -0500 From: Mitch Haley <m...@voyager.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] This is interesting upe1ujyz Message-ID: <52c1b0b7.80...@voyager.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Alex Chamberlain wrote: > On Dec 29, 2013 4:29 PM, "Dieselhead" <126die...@gmail.com> wrote: >> I never could see any need for a >> geo or a saturn. > > What are you talking about?

A lot of the Novas and Prisms, maybe all of them, were made in California, in a plant half owned by GM (Nummi).
