1985 Chevrolet Nova Manufacturer Promo
The car Chevrolet called the Nova was the same car Toyota called the Sprinter in Japan. It was essentially a four door notchback sedan with a six window glass treatment in the greenhouse. In the Japanese domestic market, the Sprinter was an upscale car, a more conservative and expensive version of the Corolla. When Chevy went browsing through the Toyota sales catalog the Sprinter was a natural choice because the Nova would have no direct competition in Toyota showrooms. According to the Chevy game plan, the Nova was slotted right between the Spectrum and the Cavalier. Pricing fell somewhere between the two also.
