That's right, Ford in Germany had a line called Taunus, as I can remember from the early 60' The V4 engine was I believe from the start an American development, but the project got canned and the Germans inherited the engine. When Saab first got the V4 was for the 1967 model - at the time Ford in Germany had a Model named Taunus 15M - 15 came from 1500CC, they also had a Taunus 17M - I believe that car had an engine "identical" to the 1700 we have in our Sonetts.
By the way - the Saab people did not expect all loyal Saabers to abandon the 2 stroke engine, so for the model year 1967 they produced a substantial serie with the 2 stroke engine - if the story I've heard is correct, most of the sat on the factory parking until the 2 stoke was pulled out and the v4 got installed... /Lars in Brea, ca
