I was felt sort of shorted on the Evo part of the show. They went into some detail of history with every other car on the show, and yeah this was an X. The only history mentioned was about Mitsubishi and how they used to make planes. It looks like the X has plenty of little gadgets more for creature comfort still not sure about the overall looks though.

Also is it me or do the seats in the X look like they are more for larger people than previous years? They just looked roomier to me.

On a side note the BMW looked pretty hot. I would have liked it even more with a small spoiler instead of the lip though. But I don’t have the $115K to spend on the BMW either. Whoever decided that BMW was the one to put on the show decided right it looked pretty sleek and sexy.

It would be nice if the show were longer than it is. It might give them more time to talk about the cars on the show.

I think the early 1970's Z-cars should be on there. They were really popular when they came out. Set the tone for sports car design of the era. I would love to own one now!

I would love to get one of the 1985 Renault R5 Turbo 2 I seen this car featured on the “I’m just here for the sex” episode. Of course they said it was ugly and all but I thought is was sort of cool looking.

I would not mind having the 1964 Chrysler Turbine just for the coolness factor. It was not much to look at but it sounded cool and ran off of nearly anything with alcohol in it.


According to the web site it looks like they were supposed to do the 2006 Evo. I guess at the last minute they decided to go for the X instead. http://www.speedtv.com/article/101-c...shi-lancer-evo

I would humbly submit the Mazda RX7 (FD3S) as a contender for this list. I actually enjoy it more than I did my Evo.

Not all 101 cars are on the same show. They only do 4 or 5 per show. Each episode is only a half hour long.

Sometimes they show some cars like the K car or the Fiat that are really a car I would not that great a car. Though they do point out that they have their place in the auto world and they have helped to make the auto world what it is today even if they are not great cars. Besides even if you do not like the car it is interesting as a car enthusiast to get some understanding of the car. Maybe it is just me though coming from a history of cars that are only comparable (maybe) to a normal lancer. Or maybe I just enjoy cars period enough to see beyond only those with power.

Actually now a fiat might not be that bad now with gas prices. You can go here and see the lineup of shows to this point. http://www.speedtv.com/programs/101-...ou-must-drive/
