    200 Trillion? - The current world population is less than 8 billion.

  • Probably because the early Japanese cars were heavily copied from European cars. Particularly the engines.

    Correct - Early Nissans/Datsuns were Austins from a mechanical point of view. A Subaru engine is a Volkswagen with a liquid cooled radiator. Not sure about the others.
