To be honest, the story about Chevy Nova may not be true. But even if it was, I would accept it. Look at the way GM is ran today! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they shouldn't be emphasizing full-size SUVs when the price of gas is about to hit $3.00 / gallon, which is unheard of in the States. So what do they do as their recovery plan? Introduce a bunch of brand-spankin' new SUVs! Do you think they don't do their homework? Or maybe they do it, but they don't want to make difficult decisions? Or maybe there are pricks like Rick Waggoner, who existed all throughout the time, and who just go by their "gut instincts" instead of logic and research. This could have been the case for Nova as well.
