Yes, Vauxhall Nova is known as Opel Corsa A in Europe because in Spanish, Nova means slow or something. So thats why

no it goes like this

UK - Vauxhall Nova, Corsa B, Corsa C
Mainland Europe - Opel Corsa A, Opel Corsa B, Opel Corsa C

they are very similar cars mechanically. They share gearboxes and engines, as well as most underpinnings etc.

fux sake Cyber understand!!!

if you took a Corsa & a Nova they would look like too totally different cars due to the body, but the fact is they share a lot of the same running gear

so...in my best English grammar

in body yes they do look like totally different cars, but in mechanics they aint

jez!!
