Most people don't know how Datsun got its name; it came from the Germans.
See, the Japanese developed and built this car, but couldn't figure out what
to call it; they wanted a catchy distinctive name that would capture the
world's attention. Someone in the company thought the Germans had a knack for
naming things so they contacted a firm from Berlin to discuss the matter.
The Japanese presented the car and explained their vision for the company;
the Germans were impressed with the product and said they could come up with a
good name. Then they asked what the deadline was.
The Japanese guys said they were very eager to get started and wanted a name
immediately.
The Germans looked at each other; one said: "Dat Soon."
And the rest is history.
