This car had the same body and many of the same basic components as the Nova, but it had a distinctive nose and tail and was perceived as slightly more opulent. Name it.

Answer Oldsmobile Omega

One of three X-body Chevrolet Nova clones was the Omega. The Pontiac Ventura had been introduced in 1971, while it and the Buick Apollo were both unveiled in 1973. Naturally, it had the same body and many of the same basic components as the Nova, but it had a distinctive nose and tail, and because it was an Oldsmobile, it featured slightly more opulent trim than the Nova. Even the dashboard was taken from the Nova, but Olds gave it woodgrain trim for a more premium appearance. The base 4.1-liter (250 cid) I6 engine from Chevy was available with a 3-speed manual transmission as standard, a 4-speed manual or a 2- or 3-speed automatic transmission as an option. Oldsmobile's 5.7 L (350 cid) "Rocket" V8 was the only V8 available, and it came standard with a 4-speed manual transmission.
