But Swedish carmaker Volvo is trying to change that. The company recently rolled out the Volvo YCC(which stands for Your Concept Car)--a car designed and built entirely by a team of women designers and engineers. Volvo's president, Hans-Olov Olsson, said that women want everything in a car that men want in terms of performance and styling, "plus a lot more that male car buyers never thought to ask for." Those things include smart features like sensors(传感器) to make parking easier. Other features include hollowed-out headrests(挖空头枕)for women who keep their hair in ponytails (马尾辫). "We are part of a car industry dominated by men, wanting to attract a growing number of women buyers," said Olsson.
