LETTER: Knifleyan writes from home in Europe Depending on your party affiliation, you'll probably love or hate this Reader submitted comment follows this letter Our neighborhood is one of those that General Motors targeted with Chevrolet and Cadillac agencies to try to improve their European sales. After two years not a single Cadillac or Chevy has appeared in the 'hood. My neighbor, who is the principle owner of one of the world's most profitable sports franchises, explained it this way: People outside the USA look at an American car and they see George Bush with headlights and a bumper; can you imagine explaining to your neighbor why you bought something like that? May explain some of both Ford and GM's problems. Richard Hovious, Somewhere in Spain Direct comments are not available. However comments, subject to editing, are welcome by sending to: ed@columbiamagazine.com or linda@columbiamagazine.com. or through Submit a Story. Re: Letter from Mr. Richard Hovious Mr. Hovious' letter brings to mind (or what is left thereof) an old & quite possibly apocryphal (I think that's a big word for "probably a whopper") tale: The good folks at Chevy were greatly puzzled as to why a certain model Chevy was selling so poorly in Spain until some sharp duck in the organization figured out that Nova (no va) in Spanish means "no go."
