I remember when the 16-valve version of that engine was introduced in Brazil in late-'99, while a 16-valve 1.0L version was favored over the 8-valve 1.2L (marketed here as 1.3L) until 2003 due to the lower tax for 1.0L engines. The first flexfuel engine made by Fiat in Brazil was a version of this very same 8-valve 1.2L one.
