Today, more extraordinary ordinariness from last year’s Festival of the Unexceptional. This is a Vauxhall Nova four-door saloon. The Nova hatch was launched in 1982 and the saloon came along a couple of years later. In most European markets, this car was the first-generation Opel Corsa but Vauxhall reportedly thought the word Corsa carried unfortunate implications of coarseness. Later generations of the car were badged as Corsa in the UK as well.

I have never made the connection between “corsa” and “coarser”.
@robtherunt Yes, over-cautious, I think!
