In other news, Volvo's product development team have triumphantly announced their solution to the old problem of carrying more than seven passengers in an estate car.

"Ja, this is a great way to increase our market share in densely populated countries", said head of product design Edov Pro-Dukdezijn. "But they keep on complaining about the cold".
