As Ikea is basically the Swedish embassy, do they get to issue diplomatic plates?

No, IKEA is more of a clandestine staging area/safe house. Diplomatic plates would blow their cover.

So. Much. Swedish. If only there was a clock to show this was taken at 2pm.

So we can deport IKEA agents if we catch them doing anything, or do we just get to confiscate their meatballs?

Well, they're pretty reasonably priced anyway. Maybe I'll just buy some - but any proven IKEA subversives are getting less of my furniture money as a consequence. Jerks.

The first S40 was based on the platform used by Mitsubishi Carisma and shared plenty of components with the sibling. Even some engines were common. The models for European markets were made in Netherlands (in old DAF factory). The design of the car was directed by British guy. It's not very Swedish car.
In its introduction year it participated in the "winter car of the year" test held by a respected Finnish car magazine (they do it every year for new car models). Carisma won the test and S40 took the last place! The S40 suffered from silly problems such as snow packing inside the wheel arches and making rear wheel lock up during cornering.
