Audi A7, Ford Explorer, Electric Boxster, Schumacher Speeding

[ronmann606]

Unibody-no problem, curvy styling-great! FWD-epic fail...

[painxxxl]

that joke with boxers was poor....

[bsumattallica]

Kinda looks like a range rover front end doesnt it? anyways we have been an explorer family. we have a 92, 95 and 07 Explorer

[StephenB58]

The new Explorer looks wider. If it is, if it has a wider wheelbase, it would be even less likely to roll over; harder to roll it over.

[merczefer1]

id hit that dealership too

[mikemihalis9]

wtf i hate these little youtube webshows

[silentdeath204]

i loove ford to death but wtf that loks like the rebadged the ford flex and tried to make it more like everyone elses disgusting crossover

[peddards]

why would they put a new car in the dirt and why did mike go with ford ford sucks dodge rules

[ADD8oi]

@peddards thats why dodge tanked too right? hahaha joke

[KzonKzon]

wow its ugly......

[billd67]

I want to see a dinosaur eat it!

Ewwww! It's in the dirt, so dirty!

[andr00123]

more bicycles, technically this is not the explorer, very fuel efficient, not the ford explorer, pinch me, it's real.

rowe is so awesome, i bet that wasn't a dirty job lol

[imjoel22]

how many negative responces where there at the reveal??????

[loufadoros20]

i think ford cars for USA market look better (especially suvs ) than europenean fords

[blastun]

@loufadoros20 uhhh wrong

[rob16875]

its sad there is barely any real truck based suv's left, really the only ones left are the Tahoe and the Suburban

[TheAveryEdwards]

@rob16875 there are plenty more dude,,the nissan armada, caddy escalade, gmc yukon, ford expedition....should i continue?

[rob16875]

@TheAveryEdwards i suppose but they are fading away its kinda sad

[TheAveryEdwards]

@rob16875 for a purpose. for what purpose? idk don't ask me, lol, it is sad, but its for the better at the same time

[nameis12396]

this guy is so gay. he ruined cars for me.

[comedicd]

@nameis12396 thanks for the haterade dude, appreciate you watching

[TamiyaRunner]

I wonder who's sponsored by ford...oh thats right, FLD is

[comedicd]

@TamiyaRunner no we aren't, we wish we were, that would be great...Plus they were revealing a brand new 2011 Ford Explorer, why wouldn't we be covering it?? It's news, tons of media was there

[MattClifford32]

allu-min-i-um ... haha :)

[machinegunmana]

i really like the new ford design lines

[sszhao11]

the ford explorer looks better than the old one though.

[CANDigB]

gotta love the grrrrrmans!!!

[TVRFan11]

After all that 2011 s.u.v talk, three things come to mind: JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

Have you seen the Motor Trend MOAB test drive?!

[ScLeCo]

Another ugly ass car based suv for soccer moms and douche bags. Wooo Hooo!!!

[NightcruiserMA]

The A7 is going to be one of those cars that really, really divides people's opinions. I happen to really like it, but I can see where some people are going to really hate it :)

[hombre3000]

shitty and very long Ford ad . . .

[XaleTorren]

haha YES this is why i always loved Gin.

I knew that sneaky bastard was going to try to kill Aizen!

i wish i had said it int he comments cuz i woudl've been rite, but it was always in the back of my mind.

too bad the creators are guna go do something thats prob guna kill Gin & get Aizen back.. either that or gin will try to do w/e Aizen was trying to do.. or something stupid thats guna ruin the whole moment >.>

[piuthemagicman]

"New segment"? The Audi A7 is just a big hatchback. So is Bimmer 5series GT

[044047]

@piuthemagicman Panamera?

[commonyetrare]

fuckin ugly ass piece o' shit with no style

[gurvir44]

4:06 to skip all the shitty fucken american shit

[terr654]

im not gonna say the new explorer is ugly, but it definately looks like a redesigned ford edge. also, i dont really see how this new one is offroad capable. its looks bloated and heavy, and the ground clearance is horrible, and its FWD. it looks more like a crossover than an suv. ford needs to go back to the drawing board with this one...

[darksole678]

As to the A7 market... Don't forget the Porsche Panamera.

[hvkv0000]

@darksole678 except the panamera is the worlds most hideous car....

[EndlessCalleman]

Ever heard of landrover...

[youlance29]

ZR1 IS KING!!!

[johngrimezy]

how have ford reinvented the SUV Derik???

it a bonerfied landy, in fact i would say that the range rover is still better, it has outstanding ofroad capabilities, and still handles well on European roads. I think that is a revolutionary vehicle, a maverick, where as the ford is just another big SUV with a couple of gadgets up its sleeve. And to be honest i think if you where to put that car on the land rover experience courses i don’t think that it would perform half as well. But that only my op

[CakeS2k]

ford explorer gross

[jazyb]

The 2011 ford explorer the new Buick for the 50 and older crowd. The only people I saw getting excited in the crowd were the Old generation. Oh sorry I meant the Baby Boomers. Most of those "NEW options on the Explorer have been available on the Land Rover Brand for I don't know the last 10 years. Love the show keep up the good work Dreick and Jeff.

[qernst8]

The A7 is awkward looking from the side profile perspective, like a stretched and bloated Saab 900 with an Audi front end.

[kevum]

LOL the guy introducing the explorer said it wasn't fuel efficient depending on how you took it :)

[rednut18]

lol it lloks like a honda CRV massive fail i know you americans love your own cars but seriuosly open your eyes and take a hint from the rest of the world put some effort in

[Kenster1025]

I really hope the keep the Expedition looking good. I hate this new Explorer. It looks so ugly, and it looks like a chick car. It looks like a Taurus X, but bigger. Too bad there aren't going to be anymore V8s.

[KFCOrBust]

FWD Explorer? Fucking PIECE of shit. Thumbs down to this abortion. Or thumbs up for the comment.

[IanHimself28]

Grats on your first celeb interview.

[ddnn3]

That explorer looks like a POS

[utube199025]

stupid Ford CEO cant drive himself

[andresc123]

mmmm kind of looks like a bigger EDGE...im not sure about it...ill wait for the sport trac to come out

[FlatOutJoe]

fuck the exploder S10 blazers all the way.

i blow 4.0's off the road ever day of my driving life

4.3FTW!

[scoobydoobie69]

i couldn't give two shits about the ford explorer. everyone is acting like they unveiled the new bugatti

[lander4545]

@scoobydoobie69 Nobody would show up if it was an unveiling of a bugatti!

[4jiggy1]

there aint even this much hype when they revile a new Bentley HAHA

[K0gCerebrus]

it looks like a really big taurus

[fakexloser]

its beautiful its beautiful, id like to sit in it right now... and what? eat chicken>?

[edgilmer]

So Ford celebrates a new car with improved fuel economy by trucking in loads of dirt in gas guzzling dump trucks? Seems a bit ironic.

[GOD]

That Audi is well boring

[wdh1550]

belive it ore not i saw one just yesterday. an A7. probeblie from the lokal goodyear development center.

[youlance29]

ZR1 IS KING!!!!

[au51emu]

@PhsRecon @Bahamuttiamat @ArthrusGigawitAnteon @25Celtics My point is that there must be a balance between advertising and core content and I think this episode is way too heavy on advertisements. I also think this it's dishonest to disguise an advertisement as part of the show. There should be a clear line drawn between ads and not ads. I'm not American so I don't know how this compares with normal tv there, but it's too much for me. I hope you fld guys find this to be useful feedback.

[iannGT2]

bullshits 2:43 to 2:50...

[cizan316]

Allan mulally built the 777, he can do anything.

[neirdo]

Explorer looks like a Honda CR-V.

[awesimo2000]

it was a car event that FLD was able to show you guys the unveiling of a new car at least appreciate that they are still giving car news everyday

[tvsambeek]

sooo FLD guys.... I don't mind ads, as this is how you guys het paid... but now the advertorial is taking up 50% of the episode... that's too bad... again, I understand why you guys add these.. but why so many?

[metring073]

Stupid and laughable pitch by Mike Rowe.. thumbs up for new Explorer, not sure about the tall rear head rests. Audi A7 really stunning and very inviting cabin.

[blythracingteam]

I hate to point this out but the new explorer looks like a facelift of a Ford territory that has been sold in Australia and New Zealand for the last 8 or so years. Ford have just delivered an over hyped yawn!!

[omar03dammam]

Thumbs up if you think the is the worst FLD ever.....

BTW, FLD refers to Ford Loaded Derek

[TornTech]

FastLaneDaily turned into FastAdsDaily. All you do is advertise products...

[DaDiamondDj]

@TornTech

how do you expect them to get paid? and your telling me they dont give us any news anymore? allright then, stfu lol :D

[24Starflyer]

THAT EXPLORER IS HOT! i would like to own one now

[Rricossuave]

Thumbs up if you own an Explorer

[rickki1]

I want an electric sports car--pow pow pwer wheels!!!

[CyberPoliceOfficer69]

Saw the new Exploder at EAA Airventure today. looks good

[skatebub23]

ford explorer looks like a ford taurus on steroids

[nforspeed91]

A7 has too much panamera in it

[mrbeerdagunslinger]

Making money by doing a little bullshitting i am okay with, but "Ford has reinvented the SUV with this car," is a bit much...

[arabrockerman]

100km = 60mph and 120km is only 75mph so if I kinda think that is a lame speeding ticket

if I was him I would try to make the argument that it isn't a noticeable difference lol

[arabrockerman]

the 2011 explorer sucks but so does every other explorer

not that i dont love Ford

[batra10]

honestly, fuck the ford explorer.

[ulrek54321]

@batra10 Fuck you too

[KittycatWrangler]

8:09 is the best part of this show.

[wfangnxd117]

I'm still waiting for Carrie

[driftkidd94]

i like the new explorer, then again i love explorers in general! our 04 has a good 84,000 miles and the only thing we've done to it was put new brakes and pads on it!! i agree with the lady who said these things were durable!!!

[goldengun74]

first thing i think of when you say ford explorer... rollover accident..

[yuteebee]

holy shit you're SHORT!!!!!!!

[barlevi1]

4:07 to skip ads....... yes, i know..

[wfangnxd117]

@barlevi1 thanks...4 min of ads? damn

[payasofeo69]

Yeah, kinda in the same direction has the other comments...

Heineken gigs are cool, but the Ford thing disquised like a news report made me sick.

[comedicd]

@payasofeo69 we were covering the FORD event for FORD

[oldsoulyoungbody]

@comedicd I think it would have been better recieved if that was made known, either way, I still dislike SUV's...although I'm happy they brought over the transit connect

[cbkenison]

the casual, off handed comments are appreciated, I like them very much.

[DrMu5tCh3at2W1n]

lol the lady is very excited? we can tell...

[srakso2]

You forgot the BMW Grand Coupe

[dipsetscooter]

Yo derek, since when did you start sucking Ford's dick!? That shit is bland as rice pudding~! I hope they paid you to say those things about it.

[TeamTHP]

@dipsetscooter This "Dick-sucking" pays the bills.  Without sponsors this show would disappear. A little bit of BS is worth the overall product.

P.S. Grow up.

[christopher0310]

that one guy at 3:15 sounds like the sloth from Ice Age. hahahahaha

[greenrolaids]

i fucking hate staged positive comments



[LaneFarrar]

Ford Explorer is news, and FLD covered it. Plain and simple.

[NASTYTHEBOY]

to hell with electrics :p ecofriendly my ass, the power plant has a bigger carbon foot print than my gas car and the neighboorhoods COMBINED! what thees lazy pricks need to get working on is the hydrogen fuel cell cars, electic cars just move the exhaust pipe a few miles down the road

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Regarding electric vehicles, since a significant amount of CO2 is being eliminated at the tailpipe, how much pollution is being generated by the power plants that are producing the electricity to recharge their batteries, is it less pollution or more? Anyone?

[HerrMueller93]

@JOHNINCOLUMBUS thats been my argument for quite a while. unless they start using nuclear power again. i think that would be brilliant.

[jojobean19919999]

it seem im the only guy who hate the ford explorer.

[eivis13]

send the ford explorer to hell, BTW every1 knws that american motors are all show and no go.

A7-if you don't understand stupids then don't make fun of it because WE MADE THE 1000HP W16 BEAST

Kill the prius it's more costly than a bmw 530d

AUTOBAHAN!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?! U CAN GO 300km/h ON THOSE ROADS

[saavaa]

Mike Rowe #FTW

[C5nightrid3r]

It looks pretty good, i guess I cant call it an Exploder anymore.. I still like the 2011 Grand Cherokee better

[Mstanglx50]

Ford did a nice job with the new design of the Explorer.

[ricepaddy69]

0:08 Did you really have to put the power source for the electric boxers THERE? XD

[XaleTorren]

4:15 to skip to the news.

[pjkf01]

Please tell me you are getting gobs of money from ford... I want to hear non-biased opinions of cars again. Especially what you actually think about the new explorer.

[warhorseforever]

4:15

[newmanthecat3940]

i thought that the autobahn had no speed limit?

[stanley2011]

@newmanthecat3940 ya thats wat i thought/

[mayinss]

@newmanthecat3940 Only some sections of the autobahn have no speed limits...

[autobahnaddict]

@mayinss

well, it's more than "some", 70% of the overall 14.000 km autobahn network does NOT have a permanent speed limit. Thank god for that! ;-)

[FastLaneDaily]

@newmanthecat3940 Weather, traffic, construction will force highway authorities to put up variable speed limits that change given road conditions.

[ArthrusGigawitAnteon]

@FastLaneDaily Further, certain areas, especially around cities, have a permanent maximum speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph).

[desimunda116]

@FastLaneDaily makes sense, really wish they would make in autobahn in the US, preferably in California.

[Looptydude]

@desimunda116 Right... and you think the already congested ass highways wouldn't spill over and make one of the slowest unlimited speed highways on the planet.

[Looptydude]

@Looptydude And to add, At least Ford actually acknowledges FLD, invited them in and kept them up to date on the Explorer, Unlike VW who didn't even tell them they were going to be in time square right outside of FLD's fucking window, and we all know how much Derek loves his V-dub.

[desimunda116]

@Looptydude don't make main freeways like the 101 or the 405 autobahns. Make an autobahn on say the 5 freeway from LA to SF because people already do over 100 on that all the way, so just make it official. Also make the 15 from LA to Las Vegas an autobahn.

[ilMafiosso]

@FastLaneDaily About 35% of them are "limitless" the rest of them have limitations

[atheos2]

@FastLaneDaily almost the whole autobahn has speed limits ^^ and the bits with no speed limits are often stuffed with cars - so to max your car you ned a lot of luck , i've only managed to do it twiche in the 2 years that i own my license

[autobahnaddict]

@newmanthecat3940

About 70% of the overall 14.000 km autobahn network do NOT have a permanent speed limit. And on about 20% there are variable speed limits if needed due to weather or traffic conditions. Thank god we don't have a speed limit over here in Germany! ;-)

[mtktm]

@newmanthecat3940 And certain parts of the autobahn are public access, so there are speed limits on a small section.

[DJWYTEBOY]

@newmanthecat3940 certain parts of it does

[tvsambeek]

@newmanthecat3940 there's plenty of autobahns that do have speedlimits, regardless of the stuff FLD explained... I think only about 30% has no limit (might be off with my %)

[TheSyntaxE]

@tvsambeek it's more like 30% are restricted on german Autobahns. Most of it in the metropolitan areas where you can't drive fast anyway because of the traffic. And there are the variable speed limits FLD explained e.g. 80- or 100kph for wet roads.

[tvsambeek]

@TheSyntaxE isn't that what I said? (and I did say I could be off with my %)

[ambee514]

@newmanthecat3940

I think that about 80% of the autobahn does have speed restrictions

[naming69]

@newmanthecat3940 - as far as I know certain parts do have speed limits. I heard that there's talk of imposing speed limits on the entire highway.

[Mknives]

What is this an infomercial?! The crowd are probably all Ford employees too. If it was a hybrid Ford would have been smart. DD sounded more enthusiastic than Mike Rowe.

[downeysoftness]

so since you guys seem to love Ford SO MUCH all of a sudden... are you going to start giving poor reviews on GM, Dodge, Honda, Toyota and other competitors products?

[Looptydude]

You are telling me that if you owned an automotive review channel and ford ask you to come to the unveil of their new vehicle that happens to be down the street from you office and you get an interview with Mike Rowe, you are just gonna sit on your ass and report what other people are showing about a car halfway across the world that you can't even touch? Yall must no nothing of advertising, money and publicity.

[downeysoftness]

@PhsRecon its plain and simple. if ford pays FLD to do large amounts of advertising they can also pay FLD to give poor reviews and poor opinions on other competitors cars.

who knows maybe this thursday on the road testament we'll be hearing how the ford explorer is the best car of all time or how GM makes the worst SUVs.

you can pay FLD or any car show to say anything. unless its not funded by ads like Top Gear

[Kamanawa1]

I love the pictures of the 2011 Ford Explorer and Jessica. Great stuff. Derek is pretty funny in the studio and out in the field. Good job!

[JHA1235]

Dang I want the new Explorer

[NeoQuello]

mike rowe from dirty jobs???

[kHighT990s]

@NeoQuello No, mike rowe from the Ford commercial

[NeoQuello]

@kHighT990s oh.. okay... come suck on my nuts ya cunt...

[randomvidz14]

i think it looks too desperate that ford made explorer look like that

[disturbed1777]

Its not that I mind that Ford is bankrolling this show, I dont even mind that half this video is an advertisement [it IS youtube, you dont have to watch it, fast forward if you wish] I just wish that presenters didn't try to pass off blatantly scripted puffery as their own opinions.

[KingBarlow]

aawwww D wen she said adorable she was talkin about YOU man haha, did you see the way she looked in his eyes and answered quick haha. that Explorer has the side lines of a FJ Cruiser sweet

[tommyblunt]

Boxers are such good doggies :) and my favorite turbo engine imagine that!!

[Josephalosaurus]

i didnt know the autobahn had a police force lol

[wrfilmshd]

Wow! At 0:39 , thats a rare tree to find just growing in the wild all buy itself, its the White Concrete-ian. Amazing find Derek.

[kchingk]

ford is garbage, i owned a 94 mustang convertible and i drove like shit, im never buying a ford ever, even if its the gt40.

[ParagonOfLust]

@kchingk Just because you drove like shit, doesn't mean the car is shit, haha.

[vivalarey619]

As Peter Griffin would say:

Vagina Boob

[spress97]

FLD you used to be up - now _ it was - now _. I see my subscription siding.

[ToyotaGT1Racer]

3:15 he sound familiar... sounds like The Simpsons janitor... Scottish?

[Sweetmash1]

Haha Grr-man Govt.

[Qnickel27]

wat about the Porsche panamera and the aston martin thing wat ever they call it... aren't the 4 door coupes??

[brettvette]

Its basically a second gen Taurus X/freestyle... not an exploder.

[juancarrillo001]

senseless plug for ford= fail.

[acs4llc]

No available V8 in a 4600lbs Explorer? Forget it, I'll pass. Thank the the Sierra Club and treehuggin pussies everywhere.

Ford knows that current Explorer 4.0 V6 gets the SAME MPG as the 5000lbs F150 SuperCab 4.6 V8.

So why are V8s villified? More power and torque means less RPMs.

Yeah, the new gen of V6s and Ecoboosts are more powerful and fuel efficient but so is the new 5.0.

A 400hp Explorer 5.0 would def be a best seller.

[SoYoungNFlashy]

@acs4llc PREACH

[bottomlayer]

Will we get the A7 TDI?

I'd still rather have an RS6 Avant though

[SupraTurbo12]

oi vey... the f'ing A7 looks.. oh ya, EXACTLY like the f'ing panamera in terms of size and profile. junk.

[au51emu]

I understand that FLD needs to advertise to make money, but do they really need to whore themselves out like this? There is a big difference between selling advertisement space and selling your presenter to advertise a car. Now that we know FLD's opinions are for sale how can we trust them to give us car advice?

[GhostCell07]

@au51emu

yes

[Lucky13Vinnie]

@au51emu You make a bloody good point, friend. I'm skipping this vid for now

[Bahamuttiamat]

@au51emu Dude at the end of the day, like it or not fld is a business. Car news, or should i say, free car news isn't really free. Someone has to pay to keep the lights on, and that someone happens to be ford. Try watching television without commercials. All i have to say DD; Do what you do.

[ArthrusGigawitAnteon]

@au51emu Opinions for sale? This isn't Car and Driver... Advertising yes. Ways to keep the show legit, yes. Whoring out to Ford, no.

[25Celtics]

@au51emu you do understand that this is being sponsered by Ford, right? FORD. You know, one of the largest auto companies in the world? yeah, that one.

[appledude222]

longest commercial ever!!!

[LPOneThree]

I'm normally not one to comment but since Mike Rowe noticed too, you could see those turquoise shoes when you were running backwards and they looked pretty gay, sorry, think of it as constructive criticism

p.s. still love the show

[RandomJenkinson9]

for god sake.. stop going on about the FORD EXPLORER!

[jbell481]

did that guy say sleeker loins?
