From watching Dev Diaries, this is usually the point when, as a designer you should go: "Maybe this is not a unit we need to put in the game, it overlaps roles". Too late for that now though....
The role the scout car should fill, is that of a scout, with a little bit of firepower (same for AC). There are, right now, no dedicated scout units in the game. The only unit that sort of feels like that is the AC with spotting scopes on
I would venture to call the T70 a dedicated scout unit. Vet 1 let's it capture points, it has built-in auto repair and you can pop the driver out to DOUBLE your sight range (so good for scouting and mortar spotting.) As Tycho puts it, putting your T70 into capture mode is "asshole mode."
Here's an example of me flat out stealing a game from four Panzer IV's who come crashing into my base at the last second simply by using asshole mode throughout a blizzard to drain his VP's: http://www.coh2.org/replays/4571/opponent-nearly-annhilates-me/page/1#post_id47040
