Volvo wants to derive economies of scale from a new front-wheel-drive architecture called SPA, for Scalable Platform Architecture.

SPA was designed for a new family of four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines that Volvo will begin using on existing models next fall.

The new Mercedes CLA – the swoopy coupe based on the new A Class – will cost from £24,355 in the UK with a choice of Sport or AMG Sport trim.

We’ve had everything from the ‘Motherhood‘ and ‘Fatherhood‘ videos for the 500L to the series of adverts featuring the glorious Catrinel Menghia in various states of undress. And as Fiat obviously has a penchant for the female form, it’s really no surprise that they’ve managed to feature more than a dozen naked women in a new advert for the 500 Abarth in the US.
