"Good things come to those who wait"; "Every little helps"; "It does exactly what it says on the tin". These taglines are so familiar they've entered our everyday lexicon and become as famous as the products they advertise. But what about "Dignity wrapped up in a solid package"? I'm not sure it's going to catch on. It sounds like an advert for a fast-acting antidiarrhoeal medicine. In fact it's the phrase the product planners and designers used to crystallise their focus while developing the third generation of Kia's new Sorento.
