Misato (OFF):“What am I going to do?”
MDWigs: Misato is driving a modified 1981 Alpine Renault A310. I say “modified” because the original cars were petrol-powered, left-hand side steering cars, while this one is battery-powered (see C-105). Apparently Misato drives this car because Sadamoto's inspiration for her character came from Fujiko (a character from Lupin the 3rd), who drove an Alpine Renault A110 in the 1st episode of the TV series.
Dr. Nick: An excellent example of sexy French engineering from the good old 1970's.Back then Alpine was considered to be a very futuristically designed car, and it doesn't really stand out as outdated from the Sci-Fi settings of NGE, either.
