Jason and Derek try to come up with a list of 5 Cars That Are Significant Like the W201 was. 


The first question is what made that old Mercedes so special. The criteria are:

Technical Innovation.

Moving Into a New Market.

Meaningful Change to the Industry.

Democratizing Features Previously Not Part of a Segment


With bonus points for:

Motorsport Heritage

Design


Then, it becomes so much more. And possibly includes the Hyundai/Kia triplets: Hyundai Ioniq 5, Genesis GV60, and Kia EV6. The 1992 Toyota Camry.


The answer lies somewhere between Tesla's Model 3, the Porsche Cayenne, the Toyota Prius, and the Lexus LS400.
