2009 NYIAS, Cadillac Converj for Production, Fast and Fur...

[Ho0di]

[THEJLG]

Kia Forte Koup (Coupe) is such a great-looking car!

KIA are doing great!

[piuthemagicman]

Fast and furry :)

[youfja]

Korea is going to put japan, in there place.

Glad too see it.

Japan thanks there special

They suck

[kevin52495kc]

Chevy Cruze already came out in Korea as an Daewoo Lacetti

[childofdreamz]

hey do you guys know who designed the converj? i think i went to High School with him...but i need ur input.

[thablasta]

VTEC just kicked in, yo!

[MugenXS]

wow that kia is a clone of the new civics

[alan1320x]

2:32 , carrot defuser? i didn't even know they were explosive............

[AWDfreak]

"...but our sources at Hollywood say ''VTEC just kicked in yo!'"

LMAO!

Derek D...having you say that made my day......

[gamejunky420]

40 miles?? wow gm cant produce anything better than the EV1

[SammySamff1]

that caddys headlights are pretty fresh

[hondabigredatc]

Vtec its kickin in!!!

[flashlightning07]

The Converj is the only electric vehicle that has given more than 20 men a wet dream.

[PAPO1990]

2 words; Koenigsegg Quant

[thirstymoose87]

the converj looks like a gallardo from the side

[hunke123]

the mercedes e 63 amg only has a 6.2 liter engine

[lexamericano]

the converj is the nicest looking GM car i've seen in a while. it's like a cross between a honda and mercedes-its classy

[PrometheuzReturns]

I was there today, shit was crazy!!!!!! there needsto be two versions of the converj one electric and one pure muscle engine!!!! that shit would be awesome!!!

[player1vladimir]

NEEEEEEEEEEEXT WEEK? What? Do you even watch F1? I guess not.

hmm... the KIA Forte Koup looks like the Honda Accord from the front.

[damircar]

you mean honda civic

[player1vladimir]

Look at the Euro Accord

[jezzetv]

get a new host this guy is annoying and not funny

[ECDT1089]

The Cruze sort of looks like the Sonata.

[44orty4our]

VTAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[HFIntegrale]

WHOEVER  IS OPERATING THE CAMERA

You need to learn more "tricks" then just Zooming IN and Zooming OUT really fast all the time.

It's boring and gives me a headache.

All in all - great job reporting!

[nurburgrunge]

like wut

[HFIntegrale]

I didn't attend Film school, so my Vocabulary is limited, But maybe:

You can use Reflections (film the car as reflected on a different object)

Refractions (through a window (like another car's)) or any kind of glass- that you can use to "frame" the car.

SUPER zoom on small cool details (like LED head lights or exceptionally big disc brakes (or Ceramic ones))

Slowly zooming out to a wide shot.

Capturing people's reactions.

Hope I helped!

Just trying to make FLD more fun for everybody :-)

[koukicrisp]

Wow... the Cadillac Converj is a sexy little fucker. Too bad those looks didnt translate to the Camaro, OOOOOoooooh. oh yes I did!

[teamlaguna]

"zqzezima" ZIPPER HEAD maybe you should pay more attention as well, Formula 1 will be RACING in China this weekend.

You should know a little more about what you are saying before you RUN your mouth!

[jxwhee]

That was me, i told you to shut up! hahahaha i made it on youtube

[seeberg88]

Hey guy's when you showed the E63 AMG the text said that it had a 6.3l engine! thats not right and I know it also stands on the side of the car... it's "only" a 6.2l engine! damn FLD you know better then that...

[lansop]

That look sick.

[GrandTheftAdrian]

holy snaps i thought the kia was a honda civic dude...

[1snazzyg8r]

Yeah, they clearly stole the design.

[Chick6517]

Hey guys! Today is just an awesome day! :)

I really enjoyed this video. It was great!

[black96fire]

v-tak just kicked in yo!

[Altezza447]

the cruise has turbo only at 140hp might as well save themselves money take it out.

[mofonyx]

Nope, the Converj definitely looks like a Toyota Celica.

[Spyker88]

Hmmm, Like the Cadillac Converj, Reminds of the Cien from years ago. Also lovin the Chevy Cruze, looks way better then the Cobalt.

[eddhedd]

it really does from the back. but from the side im still thinking cien but not as much. i think the cobalt is nicer. but thats subjective.

[HankFidel]

Who the fuck told Derek D to shut up on their breath?! What I pussy, I otta beat his ass.

[GrandTheftAdrian]

yh lets lynch his ass.

[3rdvincetheman]

it is just me but I think the Converj looks alot like a Gallardo

[HankFidel]

No, that's funny because I've been saying that since day mother fucking one.

[gold3c]

If it comes on sale it will probably end up looking like a prius.. NO car will ever look as good as it's concept :(

[3rdvincetheman]

exept the Comero, challenger, and mustang cars they look great if not better than thier concept designs

[illidan1982]

The rear view of the Chevrolet Cruze looks like a Honda Civic.

[HyperbirdF6]

yeahh i know

lol i thought it WAS a honda civic - a new version of it

[drhoonc]

"The VTec just kicked in yo!" Hahahahahaha

[davidmac2007]

from the front the caddy converj (cost cutting saving on letters) looks like the maybach exellero, anyone agree?

[LGSAUSAGE]

That kia looks like a ripoff copy of a civic!!

[davidmac2007]

i said that when it was shown in a different fld episode, total copy

[romeydahoundz]

your the best derick d! go cobalts!

[trintukas17]

At last. DD is not running in a car show.

[captBLOTTO]

fuck that guy! hes probably just mad becuase you made fun of him on commenter of the week.

[ienxxxi]

oh hell nah! i already ordered 5 shirts :( no discount and i watch dayly .... you shcuk jk.

[chopperhead2011]

Chevrolet Volt + Cadillac CTS Coupe = Cadillac Converj (with a J)

[coldhitz]

Kia definately does not deserve the hype they are getting . They have come far from their own beginnings , but alll their new " awesome " design work is really just mimicing what is already out on the market by other companies .

[ClaudiuTTTVenom]

Jesus.....they have to get rid of thoose 2 guys.....they're lameing the vid's lol...

[teamlaguna]

WRONG Derick the China F-1 races is this weekend . You should TRY to pay a little attention !

[zqzezima]

No you are wrong.. the partices are this weekend, but the race not.. think before you say something..

[gunyoudown5595]

did anyone notice that the kia forte

looks like the scion tc

[gunyoudown5595]

this guy just told me to shut up under his breath it was awsome lol

[limont]

i say we find that lil cunt who told Dereck D to shut up and show him what happens.

[jose7777777777777777]

why wasn't this on my subscriptions?

[12danny21]

wow that kia forte looked like a mugen civic rr. wait rr or type r well either one

[quakes21]

Haha I guess I'm not the only who thought that. I actually did think it was a Mugen Civic when I saw the picture for this video in my subscriptions.

[iraleecantellia]

Proportions on the Converj look pretty good, but hopefully it's not too big. They should make it the same size as the Acura RSX (R.I.P.).

[raretrick]

kia forte. maybe you saw it the first time... when it was called the civic.

i guess we just have to get used to it (kia soul = scion xb, hyundai genesis coupe = lexus is, etc etc)

korea, if you want to be taken seriously as a car manufacturer, you have GOT to stop copying japan

[yourmomwazgreat]

yes,yes,yes,yes......finally someone notices it....korea cant make shit without copying....

[SourGrey]

lol who cares. if you got one for free youd still love it.

[witeboy08]

galardo cadillac that what that car was hahaha nice tho

[nazarook]

Cruze look horrible. Just my opinion

[sspope]

Just another chevyshit

[whatsit14]

The converj isn't approved.

[iluvphysio]

Skyline GTR is back, Supra brought in a concept nissan Z been back WHY IS MITSUBISHI BEING LAZY ON BRINGING BACK 3000GT....... :(

[paulstewartcrane]

ooo

[TBustah]

They're making a fifth one? Set in Brazil?

That's kinda cool. As far as cars go, Brazil hasn't produced anything that cool recently, but maybe some Brazilian-built classics like the Volkswagen SP, Santa Matilde, Puma GT, and Puma GTB will make appearances.

[TrademarkFilms]

five stars my whitest nuckas

[YAGO323]

Cadillac would be stupid not to make that Converj concept into a production model.

[jimmey45]

The Cruze has a1.4L engine? my Pesi bottle is bigger than that! and cheaper, and lighter, and cooler (literally, if chilled).

P.S.

Way to go Mike, gettin' some more face time withe the camera. Nice.

[slzkilla]

Lol " VTEC JUST kICKED IN YO!!!!"

[blacknight595]

Why are they getting rid of the cobalt???....It was there best model. I wanted a cobalt SS.....now I'm going to have to get a used one instead, so lame....

[allisinthepass]

becaus only the cobalt ss was good, the others were bad

[wfangnxd117]

anyone else disappointed in the NYIAS?

[comedicd]

it definitely was bland this year...global economic downturn

[daackmpoy]

"lightning"

[c0c0asauce]

lol good just kia that didnt look anything like a civic

[duffman61089]

wooooow the cruze with a 1.4l turbo at 140 horses... man what a waste of metal

[sspope]

isn't 140 hp enough for you?

[duffman61089]

nahh there is no such thing of too much hp

[sspope]

but 140 hp is enough to reach the speed limits.

[duffman61089]

not fast enough... unless its in a gokart

[sspope]

enough for moving from A to B.

[duffman61089]

my point is that if you are gonna have a heavy car and little power, it wouldnt be worth the time and money spent on it. its not how slow or fast you get to B, its how much fun it is.... a car that you push to the floor and it doesnt even make you smile.... whats the point....

[sspope]

Maybe it's because you lack twisty roads in USA.

Personally, I can have fun with a small car with less than 90 bhp if it handles well.

[duffman61089]

nahhhh far from it... try living in the Appalachian mts and then say we dont have extremely curvy roads... remember that scene in tokyo drift where they are drifting the mts.... well ours are curvier

[bin7550]

it is easy to handle curve, what i hate is hairpin

[duffman61089]

if rwd jus drift it if fwd jus handbrake it

[sspope]

Are you on crack? You have only a sample of twisty roads. In Europe, twisty stuff is all over the place.

[Coachramsies]

140 from a 1.4 Turbo is pretty damn good imo

[sspope]

it's average

[Coachramsies]

Its the same Hp as the 2.1L saab 900 engine, 140 isn't very fast but I was impressed by such a small engine putting out that much power, and I'm sure it gets pretty good fuel economy.

[sspope]

It's only average in my opinion, because VW's 1.4 turbo engine produces 160 HP, 170 in Golf GT.

Fiat's 1.4 T-jet produces up to 180 HP.

[Coachramsies]

wow those are impressive figures, you're completely right, thanks for the info!

[DoggyDaTroof]

so whats the difference between the current gt3 and the 2010. Like all Porsches it sure isnt the exterior.

[gooferman609]

KOENIGSEGG? show me some of that!!!! mmm sweeds, love FLD!

[ShadowFyre89]

that porsche is so sexy

[vtek905]

vtec just kicked in yo lol.... man that never gets old, always cracks me up, i say it when i some times drive my parents around

[itwillbuffout]

I'm liking the Derek D, Allen K, Mike Spinelli combination more and more. Each of them bring something to the show.

[nurburgrunge]

ditch derek keep the other guyz

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Ok so at least this episode lacked Bob Shubin (thank God). However, a little Mazda/Mazdaspeed love? Next episode? Maybe?

Also, does anyone think Kia blatantly ripped off Honda's Civic appearance in their newest Kia Forte Koup? It's a carbon copy of the Honda Civic front fascia and body lines. Way to be original Korea...

[franktatski]

what? Bob Shubin Jr. is the man, brings a more fun element to the whole car news thing..I think it's great that FLD does fun stuff and still gives us the info we need...stop being such a NOOB!!

[muffinman127]

you tell him franktatski :)

[otmlb1128]

lol at the Chevy Cruze. 140 hp does not need drilled rotors. i don't think people are going to track a Cruze.

[Greyfox404]

YO yesterday spineli hosted becuz DD was not there? HOW DA F is spineli in today's episode?

[MexicanG90]

what NO running this time

[Da1nstantClassic]

who the hell asked to see a shitty kia?

[BlackTransAmdude]

awesome episode happy hump day!

[robm425]

You going to stall it when you driving it out of the dealer too DD?

[BlackiceMikel]

fck u !

[doggiepowers]

the cruze doesn't look to bad actually... THE V-TECH JUST KICKED IN!! WOAH!! and now its gone lol

[yoursweet]

LOL you had me rolling with that DD.

They VTEC just kicked in YO!!!11!11

[SammyJ21]

That ConverJ looks like it should need a 4.0 V8

Not a freakin electric motor!

[furrycar]

what about the new evo?!

[Waitingtoolong]

"that dude just told me to shut up under his breath! that was awesome."

hahaha

[SammyJ21]

LMFAO Double D's so fucking funny!!

[yahman193]

you should of punched that fool that told you to shut up

[donger84]

The KIA in the front looks just like the Civc Type R in Japan...Please come up with your own designs instead of copying others...lol...next thing we know, there's a Corvette look-a-like KIA, with Turbo 6...

[Mknives]

ALLEN K= Jeremy Clarkson

Mike Spinelli= James May

Derek D= Richard Hammond

[fordescort98]

haha perfect

[Mknives]

I know its a stretch comparing anyone to the Top Gear presenters but its America's only HOPE!!

[SammyJ21]

Richard Hammond HAHAHAHAHA

[robm425]

NO!!!!!

Matt F = Jermy Clarkson

But the others are spot on

[BoricuaBoxing]

Cobalt=FAIL!!!!

[RAWfart]

GET YOUR GOD DAMN BOSS TO GET A f*CK!kj@!k@j!k HAIR CUT!!! HE f*ckING LOOKS LIKE A HIPPY!!! THAT NEVER WASHES HIS CLOTH OR TAKES A BATH!!!

[bottomlayer]

oh, stop it

Alan K is so cool!

And telling your boss what to do during a depression is a big no-no in an at-will employment state

[Lex89]

I went to the auto show yesterday I walked all over the javits center trying to see you guys in person but with no a vale......... i managed to talk to some guy from team Polizei 144 He was pretty cool maybe ill see you guys at some other auto show or event

[teresahan1991]

Kia still look like a civic to me. and converj looks like a cien.

[doglove1227]

Dude the rear end of that Cadillac Converj looks sort of like the Cadillac Cien Concept Car.

[13Fallen1]

My best friend is in this video

[mikeman94]

that place looks huge. how big is it?????

[franktatski]

the javitz center is GIGANTIC i've been there a few times

[tree13kadams]

thanks for the promo code. too bad i ordered a shitload of stuff from there before u told me that there was going to be a code. i could have waited a week.

[rafaelrosales94]

random thing 2 say but the new fast and furious shoulda been called

4 the fast and for the furious

[LoudGuitar14]

Derek ask around about the vw scirocco and the JDM CTR and if it will come to the US. Or about the Toyota Subaru Coupe!

Did you find anything new and exciting for those of us that like fast and affordable cars?

[ztunelover]

hey they made a new gt3 that follows porsches tradition and looks exactly like the old gt3.

[TangoR34]

When does the offer end on the shirt, FLD?

[scm11904]

I WAS THERE IT WAS GREAT

[joness105639]

Wow, they've actually made a small chevy that doesnt look booring.  Now its as exciting as the latest honda accord. Tobad they couldnt make it as exciting as the new ford focus, or the mitsubishi lancer.

[biggieshortie13]

Thanks for checking out the Cruze like I asked!

Would have liked your guys' opinion on the car that is supposed to literally save GM though...

FLD ROCKS!!!

[federicosalalois]

Cadillac Converj = Lamborghini Gallardo?

[MetalSanke]

Very similar body shape

[shadman1911]

I kinda like that Cadillac... looks like a Lamborghini Gallardo.

[GymProv]

The Volt concept look good too. The production model will probably look like a Cimmaron. (AKA Chevette) Just like the production Volt.

[bottomlayer]

There's no such thing as a production Volt

[GymProv]

Well technically no, but the production design has been finalized. It's UGLY, compared to the sporty concept.

[bottomlayer]

well I meant that the Volt won't actually hit the streets ever

it's still vaporware until I see one out on the streets!

GM is always talk talk talk

but they can't walk the walk

[trypleknowledge]

if the build the concept converge it will sell. when they go back and f*** it all up for production they wonder why they cant sell cars lol IMO

[jasamappa]

big shout out to derek d in this comment bar. derek d ftw omg

[comedicd]

thanks man, You FTW as well

[StaticFalconar]

Yeah 18 fast 18 furious.

[Reventon619]

The Porsche gt3 looks nice.

[Bmants]

Converj ; wont pay the bills

[brownie8519]

E63 = pr0n!! XD

[JohnMarineTube]

I'm not a Cadillac fan, but that Converj looks great! Fast and Furious in Brazil? Interesting... Brawn GP is 2-0. Whether or not they'll be 3-0 will depend on how Shanghai goes. And yes... free is ALWAYS better! The Chevy Cruze looks very nice. The Kia Forte Koup reminds me of a 2006 Honda Civic or Australia's Ford Falcon FG up front. The new E63 AMG isn't as lovely as other Benzes up front. Love the Porsche GT3. And fear not, I've been subscribed to FLD for as long as I've been on YouTube!

[iraleecantellia]

Great comment! I think you just about covered everything in the show.

[JohnMarineTube]

I try to cover everything each time. But thanks for the love!

[fishycomics]

Conserge

[darkz2k3]

Mike Spinneli alwayts look high LOL

or is it just me?

[jasamappa]

ehaheahae lol I'll second that. Mike Spinneli aka weedman

[beeeceeedeee]

Mike Spinneli and Allan K both look like they high.

[evo8bear]

that guy should shut up, FLD rocks, you go to any auto show and dont know who FLD is then you suck

[marksapollo]

I think Derek should have chinned the git !!! But I also think embarrassing the bloke on a YT channel with thousands of subscribers is enough?

Lol, Chevy is not going to spend the money to put drilled rotors and mono-bloc calipers on a car with 140hp. What a joke.
