2010 Audi A5 Sportback, Trouble with Peugeot-Citroen & ...

[ixlikextoxdax]

stupid american

[jayda333]

why o why arent they selling this in the states...only the coupe version! not ...not fair!

[BayAreaOrBust]

that's the french for you

[911gt333]

how can i be commenter of the week?:))

[weirjf]

I like leo: he's the fast-talking back alley information dealer who you don't quite trust but can't help but believe

[borderlinemedia1]

the audi a5 looks kind like a bmw series and a mercedes in between :) still nice car

[icool247]

yeah the back looks like the BMW

[yoursweet]

Does anyone skip the 5 min segment of SHAKEDOWN? I do!!!! zzzZzZzzz

[wavefool]

Why is there a segment about F-1 on a show like FLD?

Kudos to Leo for making it almost a thrilling as say F-1.

Why not Indy cars, they have women racing that sign man boobs and you can actually interview them, well most of them anyway. Ah what the hell a little Euro never hurt I guess, ouch my left nut just tingled, must be Danica.

[ablair37]

is it me or is derek d a bit inbred oh wait he is american so no suprise there then

[LDV8Foax]

Sand Monkey

[scootersweet12]

failed comment

[ablair37]

im not british dick head

[SourGrey]

what a waist of 18 words, Heres mine your a Fkin Douche Bag. Dont ever comment on this show again Asshole.

[YawnGod]

Lego's are awesome.

[BayAreaOrBust]

I don't understand why the French riot so much. Our car companies are doing just as bad and we're not threatening to blow up Ford or Chevy factories.

[zajnetmaster]

Yet.

[mrfxxx]

hey hey back off Barrie

he is just feeling his "biological clock" ticking, and always being treated as second priority isn't helping at all

[illidan1982]

The driver driving that Bentley had gloves on for a second.

[LindoOchaMcCue]

Hahaha I know... who ever edited that clip did a awesome job. NICHT!

[realcrown]

July 16, 2009, marks the 100th anniversary

of audi i thought you guys mention because of  jf

[Cokecola311]

I live in Ingolstadt and saw one of these A5 Sportbacks this morning. They are actually pretty nice but its a bit strange. Audi are out niching thinemselves. why would you buy an A4 now????????

[Elmo187]

because the A4 is a sedan and the A5 Sportback is "4-door coupe". plus, the A4 is smaller.

[jmec100]

the a4 is bigger actually! the A5 is wider, but lower and shorter than the A4! and the A5 sportback has 4 seats rather than the A4's 5 seats!

[skylar44]

where the fuck was the toronto indy coverage on shakedown???????

[LeoParente]

Tracy crashed, a Ganassi won.

Same old, same old.

[CrazyForCarsAt13]

wow why Audi why u cant have a midsize car with only 170bhp but the car looks good but really 45 grand for a car that only has 170bhp buy a Bmw

[H3JT3R]

you must be a poet

[CrazyForCarsAt13]

yeah bitch

[ghostwriter11]

Hey Audi,

170 horses is NOT ENOUGH for the A5 Sportback. (This car has the word "sport" in its name, no?) The 265 hp power plant should be the base model and you should fit the upper range with at least 300 ponies.

[cruiseoveride]

Citro-EN?????

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahhaahahahahah

Derick D you are so weak!

[GrandTheftAdrian]

dont be a dumbass..he pronounced it right...i have a french friend who is crazy over his dads 2CV who pronounces it that way.

[cruiseoveride]

Well I'm sorry to tell you that it isn't pronounced that way

[zxburtonxz]

come on its france... the most we get out of france is?... nothing, we dont even get their cars

[ben10Topgear]

why is dat shakedown dude soo mad?

[roornc]

Thats Bentley is sick, sounds like a muscle car.

[MCTemPErENce]

That new audi looks cool

[exe16]

Hey Derek! Since you're now announcing birthdays, announce mine! It's tuesday, the 21st.

FLD is as good as always, especially Shakedown. Though I think you guys were a bit too hard on Barrichello.

[MazdamusPrime]

dude NASCAR is all speed shows. for us who like to watch the rest of the world racing this works. keep up the shakedown!

[Amazetbm]

Does BMW and Audi have a designer exchange going on. LOL. That A5 looks like the upcoming 3-series GT.

[ammoniha]

Noooo dont BLOW IT UP! not Peugeot!, dont give up yet again french!!?!?!?!

[stc2008lt]

How about this. Stop whoring F1 in the damn shakedown. It blows! What's worse: F1's screwed up governing officials or FLD's whore coverage of F1? Hello - um American LeMans Series? NASCAR? Bow down to F1 because supposedly EVERYONE watches it.

[Elmo187]

i agree with only a piece of what you said.

Shakedown is about CURRENT news on motorsports. ALMS won't have another race until August.

and by the way, everybody does watch F1. it wouldn't be called the largest motorsport in the world if only a few watched it.

[Tonio31]

Actually the next ALMS race will be on this Saturday, but you're still right on that point.

[bonecrusher328]

i love shakedown

[moriad02]

Ok I like the idea of shakedown, but let Leo say what he wants to say, he's more interesting when he's not reading a script. Like when he's on G419 he seems like he cares more.

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Derek, I think you and the crew at FLD should head to Atlanta. Why? Who cares why just do what we, your loyal viewers, ask you to do and shut the hell up about it.

Also, don't you feel a little embarassed knowing your current vehicle's company just went under? Sucks bro, hope you got that extended warranty.

[kchiem]

Shakedown still sucks.

[vbdenny]

I probably wouldn't watch FLD as much if it wasn't for Derek. Damn son, you are pretty good at this stuff. Get an Interview with Tanner Foust on here.

[jurand81]

how come you haven't had a sponsor for a while? g419 gets blackmagic and you nothing? somone is slacking.. anyways, i love your show (although not a fan of the shakedown segment.. sorry mr suit.. )

[Tucomen]

I think this show is awesome but, please use the old guy for voice overs only. Keep Derek D in the forefront "He makes the show".

[azharmohammed0]

where is alex gizela?

[MattClifford32]

antone got any updates or news on that new AE86, u no that subaru / toyota sportscar collaboration, i think tey are calling the new one the O86A at the moment...

[MattClifford32]

*anyone..lol

[Manzancene]

hey leo, nice news all about f1 ;) but try to speak a little bit more sloooowly, please!.. u stressed me up with all that speeeeeed!!.. cheers!

[adj789]

representing Atl

[rxforlife05]

"Hi I'm Matt Ferra, yes the giant tool bag, and I've teamed up with mutton chops and goatees, cause I too, wish to be cool."

[JammerBD]

hahaha you get a thumbs up

[ClayBonics]

BOO Shakedown!

[mikelikesmusicc]

i like the shakedown

[LOLHICRONO]

i always skip shakedown :(

[rabbidcow55]

I can't stand Shakedown. That guy has a VERY annoying voice and just doesn't seem to fit the style of FLD. I'm thinking maybe you should do some motorcycle news every thursday to fill the gap Shakedown has created.....just a thought

[reubenbridges]

Xcellent show, the shakedown needs a make over. starting with the background color, the color is a little gloomy and dark suit is not helping. Maybe a more bright racing theme will help. I know Leo is trying show his disappointment with racing results by joking, he want to change it up a bit. again xcellent show.

[LeoParente]

I hear the set and wardrobe from 'Speed Racer', the movie is available.

I could be Pops Racer, JF - Racer X, DD would be Speed, and Ian ........ChimChim?

[reubenbridges]

Not that xtreme of a change, just brighten up the background color up or have a background racing theme. The shakedown was good, just needs to change it up up a bit. I have a few things FLDtours too.

[ianskate]

ChimChim, huh? Good one... jerk.

[LeoParente]

Just a joke. Didn't mean anything neg / mean by it. Thought busting chops was NY Love. FYI to all- Ian's edit saved our a** on this week's SD with JF on the road.

Stepping away from the keyboard, FLD viewers et al. It's 'go time on the suit". Give it your best.

[fliingskwrl]

don't have diariha that would suck xD...

[Elements153]

yea shakedown is no good... nice try though... maybe you should change it up a bit

[PrometheuzReturns]

God audi A5 sportback!!!

I just jizzed in my pants!!!! and thank god it's not a fucking hybrid!

[JohnMarineTube]

Hello, Derek D. and Leo Parente! Sounds like ransom for that plant in France. That's an extreme way of putting a mafia hit on something! That Audi A5 Sportback is beautiful. LOVE it! Best of luck to the Garage 419 team in this rally. Webber handled business. Plain and simple. I saw this Goodwood video in my YouTube subscription module. Sweet sounding Bentley! You all take care now, FLD!

[solomaxdrift]

i want a shout out =[ lol i always comment and never get shit lol

[comedicd]

i'm shoutin you out right now man! Thanks for commenting!!

-Derek D.

[mrfxxx]

comments whore

[TheRustyHustlers]

I think that new A5 is gorgeous! and i love all the engine options they're putting in it!!!

[quwers]

Would you look at that, the French are on strike again. The only reason Peugeot make such bad cars is because no one is there to design them because they are all on strike so after a few years they rattle up something that looks kinda good but is actually rubbish.

[kmi187]

Give up on Shakedown already.

[Z3RO0RD1E]

A5 Sportback + coupe version + turbocharged = sex.

Sorry if there actually is an Audi similar to this...I'm not that great with Audis.

[quwers]

It's called the A5.

[marksapollo]

Typical French LOL. More then likely those gas cans are real, they like to protest but it ALWAYS gets them their own way! And is just me? Or are BMW and Audi suddenly selling hatchbacks cause they are loosing sales to the Mondeo which drives better and is way cheaper?

[AvgasStew]

People whinging on F1? Noooo? Oh wait thats all they do in F1. I swear F1 is the ex-wife of motorsport. MotoGP is the teenage bitch

[Spyker88]

Wow, those french workers mean business. Of all the places, France was the last place I expected this kind of demonstration from disgruntled workers. People here in the US should've done that to GM, then Pontiac would actually still be here. The Audi A5 Sportback looks nice. And wow, Rubens again complaining? What an ungrateful driver.

[mainzauk]

love the hillclimb awesome

[ACM1308]

leo gets worse and worse everytime...he generally has very good and interesting things to say but his demeanor is just sooo annoying. and barrichello is a great driver, so telling him to shut up and 'drive harder' is just stupid.

[Coachramsies]

Barrichello is well out of his prime, shakedown is great for people who follow motor racing, I'm not one of them this season though...

[seanguer]

I would definitely have 2 agree with you on that.I just like the current news on cars not on motor racing.

[enigmamonkey92]

FIRST

[piuthemagicman]

My Bday Yay <3

[miniboy77]

In regards to the French strike situation, its just a holdout on who will surrender first.

[mariokart209]

i hav 2 ask a question mr. Derick D. can u hock us with some info on the Ford syn-us? it seams to be a cool compact car, and i think viewers would like 2 no about it.

[comedicd]

sure just spell my name right first....

[mariokart209]

my bad. sorry

[gundamforever129]

Fast lane daily stop shakedown it's all because derek d is too lazy to do the rest of the show lazy bastards these days.

[LeoParente]

Uuh, NO. 

To all 3 comments above.

DD, not lazy.

[xECKSx58]

I dont think anybody watches shakedown it sucks!

[Aznbabyboi84]

Remove shakedown or replace the host.

[shyney93]

What does Leo mean by "Ask your british friend" about the "Broke Duck" joke :S I'm British and have no idea what that means, only that if your "out for a duck" in cricket you're bowled out for 0.

[LeoParente]

Thought that was it. Broke duck.....got rid of the 'duck's egg", the 0 [zero].

Weber had zero wins, so.......

Hoped it also had double entrendre reference in Brit social culture, but maybe no?

[piuthemagicman]

Webber.

[LeoParente]

Typed too fast, sorry.

[piuthemagicman]

Sorry

[bottomlayer]

I tried to look it up in the urban dictionary and got nothing!!

I've heard of "goose egg" referring to zero though

[shyney93]

Haha OMG it's actually Leo, awesome. Yeah, i think you're actually right anyway. You're American and you are more knowledgeable on the subject of British phrases than I am. The Ashes are on now as well, which is like the World Series of Cricket except it's between England and Australia every year. The phrase is just not that widely used as far as I know. Anyone feel free to tell me otherwise.

P.S I love Shakedown btw. It adds a nice variety to the show, rather than just Dereck D all the time.

[joncoppola28]

>>>Shakedown sucks. Period.

Most people skip over it.

So get rid of it already.

[therealdvpringle]

Don't listen to this fucking asshole. Go watch Nascar you piece of shit.

[kimmycake88]

don't be upset cuz shity red neck nascar only has left turns

[Elmo187]

last time i checked, they race on road courses too. you should educate yourself on NASCAR, you might not look like a moron the next time.

[TheGenerousGoblin]

calm yourself little boy

i bet you like baseball and golf

spend more time reading than watching t.v. i'm sure you might make your parents proud someday

[LeoParente]

Could cover Beer Pong for you?

Just sayin'

[blackghost10sg]

is the Audi A5 Sportback as same as the future Audi A7?

[Elmo187]

no, the A7 will be an A6 that's been turned into a "4-door coupe".

[blackghost10sg]

is the Audi A5 sportback a "4-door coupe"?

[Elmo187]

yes, its a "4-door coupe" version of the regular A5 Coupe, which in turn is a coupe version of the A4.

[FerrarisRock]

lol those french workers mean business, wtf is the point of blowing up the factory, im not sure they would be as happy to negotiate after tht?

[BlackTransAmdude]

man the french auto workers are damn serious

[tab1990]

Glory Hole!

[juukyuu7666]

FLD maybe you should put in your video description (or text in the video) that it takes at least an hour for HD to work... just because people are idiots.

[LeastOfTheMajority]

The horse/jockey bit was good. Coincidentally, I'm on vacation at a horse ranch in Canada.

Thanks for covering up the belt, D.

[flawns]

7:40 GLOVES

7:42 NO GLOVES

[tab1990]

Magic.

[ukarl]

P L E A S E get ..MORON ..MATT ..off your show .. I stopped watching Garage 419 because of that.. doushe bag ....ka...

[bottomlayer]

grow some sideburns

[neirdo]

You're so goddamn fresh, Derek.

[tike0rz]

What annotation?

[albania331]

idiot...

[neirdo]

That A5 looks way too much like its A5 coupe sibling. Which isn't too bad. But then again, THAT looks way too much like the A4, which looks way too much like the A3. Like the Q7/Q5 situation... yes, they resemble way too much... boring... individually nice cars, though... but boring...

[XenoRacing]

Did he just say he likes glory holes?

[Jfroese2007]

Glorious. Lol.

[Tomyboyy16]

Great Shakedown! Glad I watched the race PRIOR to watching Shakedown. Now that we live in a world of TiVo and DVR, it's easy for someone to drop a spoiler on you.

[JDisturbed]

You're watching a section of a car show devoted to last weeks racing news... If you watch that expecting it not to spoil a race for you... yeah....

[Tomyboyy16]

Is that how that works?  Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[ColinPurvis]

at least they got some one of Bentley-drivers age to do the hill climb. im all for realism

[turboman808]

Hey I just realized you guys aren't uploading in HD anymore ???

[koreandude81]

Whats with all those propane tanks and NO gas grill? They need a BBQ!

45K for a 170bhp Audi? Nevermind the BBQ, just drive the A5 into that factory.

[aescobar32]

thanks for keeping the shakedown F1 minded... i love it!

[koreandude81]

Though F1 is interesting, I did love the AMA and MotoGP coverage much more...

[LeoParente]

Trying to keep the variety going, but there's so much in the summer mths each weekend and I 'gots' me only 3 minutes.

AMA needs a 'check in', drifting @ Vegas was a big deal, I promised Lemons and have not delivered [nor been called out on the absence yet], and more.

Stay tuned? Thanks.

[Elmo187]

i'd rather you guys cover NASCAR with the rest of the motorsports in the world.

you could of at least included that there was a 50 year old man who beat the living crap out of the rest of the NASCAR Sprint Cup field at Chicago. don't see that happening in F1.

[Elmo187]

it is quite annoying to see this motorsports segment not including NASCAR because they don't like it.

if you want to appeal to more of your audience, include NASCAR.

[vlajkozr]

i just don`t get that nascar crap.. bunch of cars runin around in circles.. wher`s the fun in that?

[Elmo187]

as i've stated MANY times in the past....

strap yourself in an 800hp, RWD, 3400lb, fully prepped race car and race around a 2.5 mile, 31 degree banked oval at over 200mph with 42 other drivers packed around you like a sardine can. you will then realize where the fun is.

[mohammadVTC]

i dont like the 42 drivers bit what i would have said is 42 fucking hot sexy naked women)......... my mind is alittle sick but who wouldnt like that

[joncoppola28]

>>>That's not sick at all man.

We're on the same page here. hahaha

[mohammadVTC]

hahaha awesome

[joncoppola28]

>>>Don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan of Nascar by any stretch.

But I'm pretty sure that people find the fun in the strategy side of it.

You should watch "Days of Thunder" with Tom Cruise. Awesome movie!

And that's about as fun as Nascar will ever get, lol

And yes, before anyone corrects me. I know that movie isn't Nascar official, but its the same ballpark. And yes, I mean ball park as in subject, not an actual ball park b/c cars don't drive there. And yes, I'm sure someone has driven on one

[Elmo187]

actually, the movie was backed by NASCAR. hence the abundance of some of the biggest name drivers that were in the movie.

the only thing wrong with the movie is that it wasn't actually accurate to the sport itself. everything was thrown out of proportion.

[skatelement1]

if u wanna see nascar go somewhere else.

[Elmo187]

you wanna be a douche bag, reply to everything i say.

[joncoppola28]

>>>True. I'd rather see Nascar than what they've got on Shakedown already. But on the other hand, I would find FLD MUCH more appealing if they just got rid of Shakedown altogether. I find it bland in comparison to the rest of the show.

There's no balance it seems.

[kmi187]

Couldn't agree more.

[pieces5]

Amen! I don't take much interest in F1 or Moto GP racing.

[Elmo187]

see, that's the thing though, i love ALL kinds of motorsports. but when a segment on a show i like VERY much doesn't include a motorsport i watched since i came out of the womb just because they don't like it, its irritating.

[LeoParente]

I was torn on the Mark Martin thing.

But, there is such 'young / old heat' in FLD Nation, that 50 yrs must seem like "the new dead" to 'the kids today'.

There is some NASCAR news breaking and that may be the opp to get techy on NASCAR.....down the road.

[304teddy]

"torn on the mark martin thing"-how bout this-grow some balls-just cause you dont agree with a certain demograph DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD TUCK TAIL. voice your opinion, political correctness is out of hand.

[LeoParente]

WHOA! U R right. Was trying to be nice to all. But, should have spoken the truth.

IMO, there was NO news that MarkM won. He'd won 3 before already.

But, point is this is NOT the 'Leo', 'Elmo' or 'Teddy' show, it is for the entire audience and I try to think about that.

Now, about my balls.......They grew up fine. Thanks for caring about 'em.

[piuthemagicman]

Ya two Le Manses before the GP win.

[lethalvelocity]

You know Leo, I don't know how closely you follow NASCAR, but if you want drama and something interesting to talk about on your show, I would say the whole Jeremy Mayfield situation is something. Especially considering that his family is now involved. You couldn't write this stuff. (not you, just a saying)

[Tonio31]

Don't worry Elmo, Speed got you covered.

[KSGixxer76]

FLD needs to travel to a major racing event and do a show from there. Leo can do Shakedown on location, Derek D can interview some fans, it would be awesome.

[SmoothCrunchie]

Loving the shakedown... its a nice surprise having yanks following F1... Button FTW!

[LeoParente]

PS- I thought 'broke duck' had a more prurient entendre. It just means 'get on the board'? Hey, that DOES sound lewd / lustful.

In hockey, the 3rd goal sets the game. In GP 2009, the next driver that delivers a 'statement race' will set the tone for the championship run.

If / when Button delivers, 'Game over'. iMO.

[bottomlayer]

A5 sportback is silly, but at least it isn't as ugly as BMW's GT models

I'd rather have an RS4 Avant, C-class AMG wagon, or M3 wagon

[M2992]

The glorious Derek D.

[comedicd]

brilliant!

[jkcarcrazy]

hey this is the first time im posting for fastlanedaily and i gotta say ive been watching u guys for over a year. (yes i am a subscriber)

keep it going fellas, you do a good job!

[LittleBigB]

why do so many audis look so much alike?????

and will the blonde get me a beer?

[Drivenbyfate1]

DD lists his NJ drivers license as one of his special skills.

IMO we should start a DD fan club, who's in?

We can all get fake NJ licenses and studded belts that we strategically show. It will be epic.

[comedicd]

not a special skill my friend...In the entertainment business you need to put everything you do on a resume. Many movies, tv shows, etc may require an actor to drive...it's crucial to have information like having a valid drivers license on your resume...

[movado18]

I need some clarification...why would someone spend $45k on a 265hp vehicle?? am I missing something?

[Boruc987]

handling, interiour style, built quality.

its not all about the engine

[koreandude81]

In that case, for 45K a BMW 335i sounds like a better deal.

[GTAdc5r]

lol funny shakedeom segment (Thumbsup)

[mattmopar440]

agreed

[cbtorneros]

to what???? FTW!?!?!!?

try replying

[Elmo187]

he did reply, you moron. try going through ALL the comments before attacking someone with excessive amounts of question and exclamation marks.

[mattmopar440]

Thanks

[mattmopar440]

Agreed that the shakedown was good i was replying to someones comment calm down

[brennen182]

wow that blonde in the bull run rally, with them posing...man...tasty
