When the Santana was introduced I distinctly remember reading that one of
the surprising things about it was that it was going to be produced with a
20V engine _before_ they were to become available on the Audi line.  The car
was produced under license by Nissan and (now this part of it I'm not 100%
on) I believe it was actually built at a factory in China if memory serves.
