WIliTBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1985, PAGE 29 1986 CHEVROLETS OSHAWA, Ont. (NC) - The Chevrolet Nova hasn't been on the market long enough to expect there would be anything new for 1986 - but there is. A four-door hatchback is joining the Nova lineup as it comes to Canada in the Spring of 1986. Nova was introduced in June in 25 middle-U.S. states in its five passenger, four- door notchback sedan dress. An extra door in the back turned the lively sedan into a handy hatch. With the rear seats folded down, the hatclhback pro- vides a generous one cubic netre (35.5 cubic feet) of car- go space. Split-folding rear seats allow Nova to carry three passengers and sub- stantial cargo at the sanie time. Nova is manufactured for Chevrolet by New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc., the joint venture company was formed by General Mo- tors and Toyota, at Fremont, California. A higher-output engine, due to revised head configu- ration, develops an ad- ditional four horsepower in 1986, giving Nova 74 hp @ 5200 rpm and torque of 86 lb./ft @ 2800 rpm. Zero to 80 km/h (50 mph) accelerý ation is 9.3 seconds with the five-speed manual.

Power window and seat controls relocated on top of new front door armrest extensions for con- venience.
