The Vauxhall Nova was a series of cars that were released for the 1983 model year. The Nova was also sold as the Opel Corsa. The small sedan, hatchback, coupe, and vans were sold in the UK under the Vauxhall badge. The cars all received inline four-cylinder powerplants. The subcompact was so popular that Vauxhall sold nearly half a million units by its production end. By 1993 the Nova ended production and was replaced by the Vauxhall Corsa.
