Consumer Report - where's the discussion? ALL

posted by  someone claiming to be Yaroslav on  Wed Apr 4 16:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just logged on after being away a few days and expecting to see lengthy discussions about this month's CR. They compared the S60 to the BMW 330i, Benz C320, and Lexus IS300.

Guess who won?

The Volvo not only finished 4th in this comparison, but 8th out the 9 cars on it's overall chart (only the Saab 9-3 did worse).

I haven't driven a S60, but I think they look damn fine (except for the taillights). All I know is that when I asked the Service Manager about them, he rolled his eyes back, drooled, touched himself and said "it drives like a BMW, you've got to try one." I said "if I wanted a BMW, I would have bought a BMW."

BMW, Volvo, Mercedes etc. etc. all make fine cars. The Volvo fit my needs/priorities better, so I bought it. What a knucklehead thing for a Volvo rep to utter.

Anyway, thought I'd be the first to mention the CR article.
