That is interesting. If you do a google search on this, there are hundreds of hits on the well-known "No Go" reference that everyone except you seems to know about, but zero hits on this slang meaning. I also ran it through a Spanish Slang lookup web page, and got zero hits with "nova".

Can you tell us more about this slang word, tied to the Chevy Nova not doing well in Latin American countries, that no one seems to know about?

Curious...
