    Thank you for enlightening me about the meaning of Prius.So it means to go before. Great! As for the old Chevy Nova meaning does not go, I owned a 1976 Nova and I beg to differ about that. My old Nova really did go, believe me! Thanks.

    "To go before." Before what exactly? The rear of my Prius now says Corvette Stingray. Drive it like you mean it. Fast & furious.

    The meaning of 'nova' depends on which side of the border you are on. On the north side, it should go really well! :)

    The Nova - no go story seems to be urban legend. There's a pretty thorough write up about it on Snopes

    Nova Don't Go
