Is the 2004 Volvo V70 the worst Swedish car of the 2000s, or is it a solid offering from a brand partnered with an American automaker? The Roman searches for answers on this week's Race to the Bottom, as the 2004 Volvo V70 might just be one of the most perplexing cars ever featured on Regular Car Reviews. Join us for a test drive, a history lesson, and a critique as we try and understand what the appeal of this car is, and why it continues to endure on the used car market.
