Tax Returns Show Santorum Owned an Audi

Rick Santorum's tax returns suggest his support for American manufacturing has not always extended to his own automobile purchases.

His 2008 return shows that Santorum and his wife, Karen, listed a German car -- an Audi A6 -- among their business equipment. The car was placed in service on April 1, 2008, and was driven 11,850 miles that year, more than 6,000 of them for business purposes.

His personal business returns for 2009 and 2010 show that he still had a vehicle that was placed in service on April 1, 2008, suggesting that he still owned the Audi.
