I think the major fail is that he kept using the same adjectives over and over and over again to describe the cars

If they're using C70 to compare.. why not use CLK?

It's kinda tool-ish to call the Volvo a POS. It's not. I bet you haven't spent any significant time in any of the newer Volvos.

If anything, the IS-C is a POS. It's a joke. It's a very poor-executed automobile, and definitely the worst car in its class.

Wonder if they deliberately selected the most boring color in the Volvo lineup in an attempt to embarrass the IS-C even further? The Volvo just plain looks old.

I need to test drive the Volvo. I did test drive the Lexus IS-C at the Lexus event in Tarrytown, NY last year & the drive, looks feel are not impressive at all.

Well the Volvo isn't going to be a match for your 335, but it's aimed more at the IS-C type market anyway. As far as a nicely-packaged, smartly-styled cruiser goes, it's hard to beat the C70. They deal on them too. It's a damn shame they took away the manual transmission this year, although I'm sure it accounted for a very tiny percentage of sales.

The IS-C is colossally tasteless. No offense to anyone, seriously, but it could possibly be the worst Lexus ever. It's horribly awkward beyond words. I can't believe the company that gave us the original SC300/400 and SC430 could botch it up so badly.
