No... and, as you'll see, it's a good thing it wasn't.

Right... but a different country besides Norway... one of your really prolific car-producing countries. And, as I've hinted, the car has a name that it wouldn't have been given in an English-speaking country.

No, but you're in the right country, and close in another way as well.

That's it! The company's name was Automobiles Sans Soupapes (cars without valves), which made for that unfortunate acronym!
