+4%2A3%2A10%2A2%2A2%2A2+=+960+ different possible orders
------------------------------
A way to think about is: A buyer ordered a car, but
didn't pick one of the three engines available
(1) 320 posible orders with engine A
(2) 320 possible orders with engine B
(3) 320 possible orders with engine C
+3%2A320=+960+
