Infobox for Volvo 940: field for longitudinal length of vehicle: follow convention used even elsewhere in this very same infobox that a measurement is given only once if the measurement is the same for multiple body types of the same model of vehicle. I found it confusing how the length was given separately for the saloon and estate body types when the measurement was exactly the same for both body types at least with the resolution used in this context, which is one millimetre.
