Lexus Challenges Buick, Fiat with another U.S. Model, 2012 Dakar Rally Kicks Off, & More

[GeneticallySuperior1]

Arrogant fuck

[professorironlungs]

i watch more FLD than i do news..... hmmm.....

[orobertg]

I wish my search results could exclude anything from Fastlane daily forever.

[toyotaprius79]

The FIAT crossover looks very close to a fecking Panda.

[ImChallin]

should have and FLD sticker over the Apple logo on that computer

[bdubs331]

Thirsty Thursdays coolest cars under 15 mpg

[OaNautilus92]

Ketchup... Like Catch up :P funny

[25Celtics]

Theres a new Ian? What happened to blurred-faced Ian? explain please lol

[denvera1g1]

@SuperCordizzle I have a bolt on invention that at the very least double the efficiency of all internal combustion engines, once I get to mass production I expect a quad increase and theory could reach 8x power with no more fuel

[denvera1g1]

tomatoes don't come in bottles that's why u got no love

[jonorejko]

I love that this video was posted the day after I put a picture up of an LF-LC on my Facebook, I wasn't sure how old that photo was, haha, thanks for clearing it up!

[SuperCordizzle]

When will car companies realize that 40 mpg is NOT good enough? I don't want 40 mpg, I want 50 and we have the technology to do so.....like idk the VW Blue motion? (btw, is that a diesel? if it is, ignore that last bit.) Seriously, we need hydrogen power. More torque, same horsepower, no smog, more fun....better.

[Death666wish]

wow, i was gonna comment on the laptop not even being on, thanks for answering my wonders DD haha

[HoosierHacker]

Thanks FLD you guys are awesome. Don't be afraid to try new ideas for the show and the new studio.

[comedicd]

@HoosierHacker trust me we aren't, it's only going to get better, we are just settling in and getting everything set up, this isn't going to be the set

[hardcorerider]

twins ? *.* omg i am i loooveee

[12gaugebleachdrinker]

Fast Lane Daily showed me the new Lexus LF-LC before my national car magazine did.

FLD, like a bauce!

[wtf000000000000]

the flat looks more like a mini cooper 4 door

[ennova18]

*waves* to Ian (the new guy)

[sexyboi142]

looks like a mini clubman. That fiat thing....

[Moatazbahr]

I prefer the old layout where Derek was standing.

[EsCurve]

u should do basic race tech and best cars w/ bolt on performance and cheap car roundups

[smittyboy007]

I love this *INSERT LOUD ASS FLD BEEP* channel!!

[dlsh84]

is it me, or is the engine revving sounds sweeter? 0:23

[scootosan]

Fiat stop already you can't repeat can't polish a turd

[juukyuu7666]

don't you mean hit a deaf person?

[spooky599]

@juukyuu7666 no because whether the car was electric or not, the deaf person would still see the car but not hear it. what Derek was saying is that blind people have recently been more prone to getting hit by cars now that we have hybrids and fully electric cars, which make very little noise, so blind people have a tough time crossing roads without getting hit by cars (mostly hybrids or fully EVs)

[garytherival]

Bob Schuman Fridays!

[spooky599]

@garytherival Shubin*

[kouznetsov]

something just trickled down inside of my vagina ;)

[ndyt]

Derick needs a professional peanut gallery. And by that i mean a group of sexy fan-girls just off camera that could be shown occasionally. Hey!? What ever happened to Trish!?.

[mrdragancelan]

The asses on those FIAT twins are unreal!

[MrJimmyJazz87]

Derek D. you never fail to make me wet myself.

[Hiluxtaco]

Note to Fiat: We don't want your ugly-azz sh*t!

Take care,

USA

[Diablo99V]

Derek is one funny ass dude, keep it up. Good job guys and let Ian the new guy that is ok about the loud beep, ill send him the bill for my new hearing aid.

[TheShammies]

*Derek about to make a joke*

*Stops sipping coffee*

*Derek makes joke*

*Continues sipping coffee*

[spooky599]

@TheShammies ?

[muckrak3r]

Concerned Citizen Here. Do we have to watch every single day?

[spooky599]

@muckrak3r you are legally obliged, yes.

[vicbel]

This guy can be funny.

[timixtape]

are you cry ur fther?



[key2010]

why are you lying derek? ... the apple light is on ... so the computer is on :P:P:P

"well" played !

[skibum70]

You pronounce it Dak (as in Black) - ar

[iCharlyoseayo]

This episode got me confused when i first started watching it. I was really under the impression that it was wednesday. But now that i know FLD will be on 5 days a week, all i can say is, HELL YEAH!!!!! Its about time. FLD 5 days a week FTW!!!

[ammoniha]

you should have awesome people of the week! like RON PAUL 2012

[billyboy713]

simple yes.

[1217tho]

lol ketchup

[automobilistafi]

Wow that studio must be, big like a BOSS. Since it appears that no one can hear Derek. Btw isn't that how horror movies start, I'm just saying..

[TheMightySamsonite]

Can we get the "My First Car" segment back? I miss that...

[levinoss08]

@TheMightySamsonite FIRST CAR THURSDAY! WOOO WOOO!

[the4point0tp]

yo them twins got cakes!! js

[StoneRiderM3]

dear fld guys plzz , less lame jokes and moore info !

u just restarted your show ...! lets take it to next level !!! u know xactly what i mean !

[viper013044]

Tough crowd Derek , even for an Aussie l found that amusing playing Ketchup .............

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Stand up please

[aquaphoenixx]

I think that you should do a segment about custom cars. Anything from performance based models to just plain ludicrous ones. It can either like the other car news or if you could get interviews from the actual people that make such customizations it would be awesome. Just make it informative and funny like only FLD can!

[carranza828]

Isn't the last time you guys did an episode on a Thursday when you guys went to the LA or NY auto show? Lol

Derek looks old in this episode :/

[bmxmatty1]

i fuckin love that cluster

[o0bananaman0o]

SUGGESTIONS: 1) more dancing like in that episode where you were taking the piss out of that BMW advert (which episode was that?) 2) more trying to hook up like when you crashed and burned with the fiat chick at the auto show and when you got that bentley to ride around in

[spornicu]

i see uve been enjoying wearing a green shirt for once

[touge242]

so fiat, here is a thought: the us has wider streets than italy, how about a car that can actually sit four and hold more luggage than a purse? and they wonder why the sales are shit. what fanboys cry for isn't what people actually buy

[vlenhoff]

Also, I have some sick car illustrations. Maybe you can have a weekly car illustration segment, and comments can be used to pick a winner. Hit me up if you want to do some sick car tshirts for the show xD

[vlenhoff]

Derek, you ok? you seemed stressed. You are just getting used to the new place aren't you? You could have a segment where people have a brief interview, and then they go around for a lap in a local track. The segment could be called "A guest in a reasonably priced car". You can keep a board, with all the track times waaaaaaaiiiit a minute, 5th gear already did that or is it 6th gear? [depending on the tranny] Great to have you back all week Derek!.

[id786]

great episode today, it was genuinely funny. could we please see, more bob scheuben?

[Zwank36]

Why would Tree-hugers' be happy?

I think hybrid and electric tech is cool. Its interesting. Why? Because I'm a nerd.

I don't give a toss about trees, nor do the tree enthusiasts care about cars. Stop calling us hippies/tree hugers! We like solder irons and PCB, not trees.

[sanfranfan87]

I think you should give Bob Shubin, Jr. a segment. Maybe he would be willing to give car care advice or buyer's guide tips in exchange for some ad time for his used car lot. Something. Anything. Just find a way to get him on the show. The man is legen....wait for it.....dary! HEY, how bout it?!

[alvarez1513]

another fail for fiat:D

[MOTODESIGN09]

You guys need to watch 'Death Valley' the TV show. Then think of Drek D when the character of the Captain starts talking.

[TheDirtyGoatee]

How about more Bob Shubin Jr.? I miss that guy.

Also, love seeing FLD on Thur. Tomorrow should be baller also!

[BigggRice]

Derek looks tired. Good show though

[brownal12]

friday should be fail of the week day

[Ewicberger]

that audio, yikes is it bad, so much echo. but that new fiat is the worst thing ive seen all year =P

[frankmurguia]

On a Thursday!! Yeah!!

[danielraul1989]

Nice Lexus, now put a Toyota badge on it, call it a supra, ditch the hybrid and tune it to beat the GT-R. It's what we've been wanting for so long, Oh yeah if you can manage to price it realistically unlike the LF-A it'll be appreciated

[Neno8403]

@danielraul1989 Sigh. Your comment is oozing with unflattering ignorance. I'm so tired of hearing turds bitching about the price of a car that they had no chance in hell of owning, to begin with. The LFA IS NOT a mass production vehicle intended for people like you. Lexus will produce 500 LFAs and virtually all have been sold. Lexus handpicked who they wanted to own the cars after people applied for the rights to purchase it. So, in that regard, it's priced correctly.

[joseynovember]

@danielraul1989 you are so fuckin right .

[IwantaLexusLFA]

@danielraul1989 How childish you can be? Toyota badge??? Supra??? That car has nothin to do with the Supra, it's just the new SC430.

[danielraul1989]

@IwantaLexusLFA The SC430 was the second ugliest thing Toyota built, first being the LFA. You'd figure they'd avoid styling their supercar like the Pontiac Aztek but hey a couple of tasteless idiots always buys them. Glad I've never seen one.

[ztunelover]

@danielraul1989 You are the only person I have heard tell me it is ugly Ray Charles

[SSC3034]

@IwantaLexusLFA the LF-LC is just going to be a cheaper alternative to the LFA

[CakeS2k]

Could i get a free FLD Tshirt for waiting patiently? THANKS! \:D/

[varunjaitly360]

damn FLD doing there part to make Thursdays better

[dicasolrac]

damn derek ..no support.. lol

[UBERC4R]

Pre-Christmas FLD: Derek D would get loud "Hell Ya's" from the crew. Post-Christmas FLD: he gets nothing. What the heck guys? Support Derek in his cringe worthy jokes. It's like not returning a high-five. Just plain cruel.

[jjhoops023]

Why is the comouter there? One word my friend. SPONSER!!

[JeffreyV16]

FLDetours

[tintdeejay]

one of the best shows in a while. :) Derek had to much coffee... or maybe not? :)

[147rambo]

Lexus is the shit!!! Buick is gay as fuck!!!!

[dickcheese663]

Good thing there wont be a 2013.... that FIAT is gross

[ImTheSlyDevil]

does more than one lexus = lexi?

[HennesseyHPE1000]

YAY my comment on the bleep was heard! Probably not as loud as the actual bleep, but it was heard.

[Hondaminican]

you guys totally forgot about the new 3 series..

[ghettoflyer]

Derrick D should do the cinnamon challenge!

[chefjlevy87]

how about free stuff fridays? give the fans some free stuff!!!!

[joebobbyrobot]

anyone else see the style cues from the LFA on the lexus concept?

[streetkid414]

you guys should do my first car again like have people send in videos and stories and then during the summer show/read them

[THEbeastlySTIG]

does anybody know a good website for Dakar highlights? Thank you!

[rudishm]

I love Fast Lane Daily!

[raz902]

Derek d you should do car reviews not ian or jk

[jamestnov41945]

It is a great show Derek keep up the good work.

[apalsenberg]

That Fiat 500 has been in the US now for only a few months

...and it has already gained 200kg !?

[89deanplayer]

hell yeah fld on thursday!!!!!!!!!

[watchmelearn]

You guys must've lost some writers or something. Hurry up and get some new ones, cause this is borderline unwatchable... and Derek D. Isn't the problem. He's only 1 man.

[corbelius6]

Keep up the good work guys. How about more Car porn (just more shots of sweet rides in motion) The "your first car" segment was cool, maybe ask what Car would be your dream car and why? or what do you drive? from peeps on the street. you can use that tag. 5 days Like a Baws!

[33BMX33]

new studio is looking like a BOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[SleekandClass]

Hey FLD boys..... In Australia, the Mazda 3 took the crown for most car sales in 2011. Taking the Holden Commodores' (GM) place after 15 years in the lead.

Spread the news.

[onilosha]

Put an FLD sticker on that Laptop! And Derek D looks tired today. Probably from setting up the new studio? Or maybe cause you leave him hanging all the time!

[carcrazzy247]

Dude, can you guys do some more fld extra? It was cool for the little bit you guys used it

[skyboom64]

wtf? that was pathetic. sorry d.......just saying, 

[stunt10104]

YES!!!! NOW I WILL POOP FIVE DAYS A WEEK!!!! THUBMS UP FOR FLD!!!

[ambee514]

Well the Lexus cluster is a cluster, a cluster fuck. Way too much going on there.

[BrandonSmith999]

Give Bob Schubin (however you spell it) his own segment, or day, he's a BAWSE!

[07SuperchargedSS]

That is one of the sexiest Lexus' I have ever seen.

That is one of the fugliest Fiat's I have ever seen.

[Ch01c3Pr0duct1ons]

you should do thirsty thursday. DEREK DEE CHUG!!!

[xiketa46]

ellezero=mini countryman

[mccracken65]

HEY DEREK can we get a tour of the new office... i mean you keep telling us its so great and you guys love it...C'MON!!!

[comedicd]

@mccracken65 yes soon don't worry, it's not all set up yet!

[mccracken65]

is it just me or is the video a little jumpy, not quite lag but.... strange

[teampig]

(Manufacturer) Fuckup Friday, video segment of videos like when Volvo shot a car into a truck at a press conference or just car releases of car like Fiat Multipla and others that are just fuckups

[phatkix]

How 'bout a little bip bop biggity bang bang Bob Shubin Jr. action? Hey how 'bout it.

[SpeedFreakNO]

Use my video as a dumb-ass Tuesday thingy. The other guy was a dumb-ass :(

[callate1269]

Also Apple sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[callate1269]

I laughed at your lame jokes!!!!! :D

[SpeedFreakNO]

Look what happened to my nearly mint and newly bought Nissan Laurel 2.0 LX 1987 (C32, Facelift) while on my way home with it after just buying it a couple of days ago :'(

watch?v=804vonTbL84

[randomtechdude]

i think they forgot to use the audio from Derek's mic on his shirt....

[squirlybmx]

We forgive you Ian, just don't FUCKING DO IT AGAIN.

[tinhead10]

i liked this as it was the first Thursday FLD in a long time

[theonlylolking]

Buick needs to make a large SUV that handles like a WRX, takes off like a Ferrari and top speed of a LFA.

[UCplayer]

ECO O O O

[KeatonnMc]

He looks hung over

[taulpaul85]

What's wrong with PC?

[8383mon]

screw that SUV thing BRING ON THE PUNTO !!!

[vladabih]

APPLE SUCKS; only tools and Starbucks freaks are using it.

[flipinwash]

just realized it's a Thursday and i'm watching FLD! it's a good day!

[Sponge1310]

You're trying too hard to be funny Derek, calm it down just a bit and there's no need for a forced joke after every single item... Anyway, fld every day is great! Keep it up!

[cbremer83]

Outside of the LFA, I don't remember a single cool Lexus any time recently. The old IS IS-300 was nice. The IS-F could have been cool but looked like it was trying to hard. And the stacked exhaust just looked dumb. If I was to by a higher dollar luxury car today, I would most likely buy a CTS-V.

[kdlope01]

Like the new stage, but there is to much echo in the background. Probably from the new studio being so empty. Keep up the good work FLD!

[MrThaPatrick]

Are you writing on your laptop screen? Or is the pen just for show?

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@MrThaPatrick its what he uses to write on the screen saying " i wish i didn't buy this 2000 dollar Facebook machine ! "

[4fastdrs]

So is thursday going to be the funny show? well played! you mentioned, Buick, and Cadillac are both goaling for sales normally allocated to lexus; which brings up a point I have long believe it to be true, General Motors need to do a better job of separating Buick and Cadillac, I mean the president of the most powerful nation on the planet is driven around in a cadillac, GM needs to take cadillac up to the next level, between Mercedes and Bentley, as they once did before, the history is there!

[shafta99]

you should put a few peices of paper in front of you can shuffle around once in a while to fill in space like the news reporters do, lol.

[budul5]

LEXUS FTW !!

love my LS

[Reso205]

Hey FLDerek D, how about bringing back the: "my first car"

segment/bit back

miss that...

those were always fun

[RichardEllisxyz]

I was there for the start of the DAKAR rally in Mar del Plata Argentina..........550 entries, Bikes,Quads, a sole Ford Raptor, Big Trucks, even 6X6 trucks.....there was one fatality on a bike very early into the race. The big trucks are being sanctioned, because several of the big Rigs seem to be side-swiping lesser opponents, taking them out...think Mad-Max. I got lotsa pictures & videos, met up with one of the few Americans.

[miladsafi12]

Audi vs BMW FTW

[otmlb1128]

In what way has Lexus been the luxury car king? Wouldn't it be that Lexus has been snatching sales from BMW, Mercedes, and Audi considering those have been the establishment luxury car makers for quite a while?

[platterhof]

Who said Lexus is the Mercedes for the poor?

[slaytallicadethsb]

FLD>DRIVE

[demander11]

The new Fiat looks like a declined mini cooper concept

[CoreyCross2]

@carlreid07 how long did it take you, to make up that one??

[medelucki1]

Derek sir you were extra awkward today XD

[reedmccool]

300th view

[b145701s]

hey fld what about the avanti? you know the indian "super car"?

[MikeFinnley]

Catch up - ketchup? Too much Pulp Fiction for you DD ;)

[NAWFMATIC]

i likes me them new buicks :)

[Sameh90]

i replayed 1:06 700 times..still cracks me up

[bmwmsport11]

The Lexus lf-lc must be the replacement for the Lexus sc. Can't wait til Lexus makes it cause I was sad when they stopped the production of the sc

[cumaroz28]

With Mike Spinelli working with JF, is FLD going to just become a daily video recap of Jalopnik? I don't know who is stealing images and stories from who but it just seems kind of lazy.

[newagewinning3000]

talk about the one man show,,,, keep it up d

[bigbigdave8080]

Love it  love it... But please its pronounced DA car as in Dakar Like in nissan ni san not naysan or how ever you yanks say things, mind you spot on about the cooper, dont but a fiat.. They rust out and the electrics are shocking... Rubbish..love dave xxx

[Colleptic2]

Lexus WTF?!

[ewilliams91]

FLD content on a Thursday? Awesome. Friday as well? Even better.

[CitrusJuicebox]

Why does that look like a Countryman?

[dominicancheif117]

Hey fld guys I hear there is a JDM meeting on saturday in harlem you guys should check it out

[marjilros]

having a bad day. but big D always enlighten my day.

[2022CarrJames]

I As Well I'm Loving the 5- Day Setup with FLD starting off 2012-- Keep up the work you guys, and I for sure will be tuning in Five days a week.

Derek D you are the man

LOL DEREK...you need more help from people in the behind the scenes!
