    Default 101 Cars You Must Drive on Speed Channel

    Anybody been watching this show? They seem to select the cars in a very haphazard way, and I can't understand why they selected a comedian [Alonzo Bodden] to host it, but it's still an interesting show, I'm certainly enjoying it.

    I don't think they've shown that car on the show yet, but they did show a black BMW Alpina B7 with the wheels painted black...sooooo hot...

    I saw a couple minutes of it, and the host's loud and mouthy delivery turned me off to it right away.

    Yeah I have been watching it/TiVoing it and I think its a great show besides the amount of commericals

    Alonzo Bodden is quite the car guy. I heard an interveiw of him on Siris on RPM a car show that is on Maxim Radio. The guy knows a decent amount about cars and how one of the host put to the audience he must be a car guy if he had a modified 930 Porsche and he is still alive. He is very knowledge also the fact that his new personal car is a JWC Cooper S soon to get more mods I respect that

    Ditto. Would be better with a different host.

    I did not know that. I have more respect for him in that case, although that doesn't change his questionable job presenting the show. He's not doing a BAD job, I'm just saying they probably could have found somebody better.

    He was a possible host for US Top Gear

    US car shows aren't the best in my opinion I perfer stuff from europe

    Though I do kinda like the show as it will show me some things about cars I may know little about and would most likely never hear about. The historical cars are more interesting to me but me only being 23 I have a much more limited knowledge of some of the earlier cars than some people. My car knowledge from before the 1980s is extremely limited to just american cars specifically Pontiacs. (I know Pontiac may be strange but father has 1949 Pontiac which he frequently takes to pontiac car shows)

    The problem is that they get confused about the premise of the show...the K car or the 2CV make sense in a show about "historic cars" or "cars that left a mark on the auto industry" but not on "Cars You Must Drive".
