Top Gear US Hosts, American F1, Mercedes CLK, & Acura NSX - 06/17/2008

i like this show

The funny is strong in this episode! 

Thanks You

The funny is strong in this episode! Awesome promo

First gen NSX looked the best so far. New shape doesnt seem too exciting.

American F1 Team sounds cool. 

Carrie's presentations always rock!...even if she has to make do with stupid jokes that the writers uh, write! Haha!
Carrie's by far the best of all that have done presentations on FLD.

THIS GUY DEREK DEANGELIS IS AN IDIOT HE RUINS THE SHOW GUYS DON'T WANNA SEE GUYS IN A WEB VIDEO GUYS WANNA SEE HOT CHICKS TALK ABOUT CARS GET THIS DEREK DEANGELIS OFF THE CAMERA AND YOU'LL GET MORE RATINGS HELL I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT GUY I'D PUT WOMEN IN THE BACKGROUND OR DRESS MANLY THIS GUY DRESSES LIKE AN EMO WANNABE CAR GUY LOL PUT ME ON THIS WEBSITE I'LL MAKE RATINGS HIT THE ROOF!!! GET THIS IDIOT OFF!!!

foust is just about the only real car guy on the U.S. top gear cast. it might work tho.

635driver: What the hell is wrong with you? That last line is no worse than any other tossed-off line from any host on any other show on TV or on the net. It doesn't even warrant a mention, let alone a tirade. Let's try and double-up on those OCD meds before commenting next time.

Stay secure DD...you are the man.
Keep up the great work.

hey Mercator, Derek D here, in response to your comment...that's me and Judah Friedlander from the show 30 Rock on NBC, and yes it does look like we are kissing, but we actually slapped double five and then what looks like a kiss is actually a chest bump. That photo was taken at the perfect time for blackmail haha...just a little FYI for ya

I almost forgot...Welcome back Carrie!  I was afraid that we lost you.

Thank god you're back.  I was afraid that I was going to have to suffer through extra episodes of watching Alex G. blindly fumbling through the FLD scripts...You are 10 times better.

Also, I don't know if it's true, but the rumor is that you got married...Congrats!

635driver--I wouldn't dream of trying to keep you quiet...People like you provide too much of my daily entertainment...I don't know what I would do without you.

fast_human- I know.  Just a small oxygen breather on the big blue globe but you won't keep me quiet!
:-)

635driver...Nobody cares what you think.  :)

Welcome Back Carrie.

Mmmm, I love Red. :)

The HGTV pretty boy needs to show the gearhead crowd that he knows as much about cars and engines as toilets and a color palate.  Toyota Hybrid.....WTF.  Why even mention this?   These guys don't take cars serious enough. Toyota Hybrid!  Is there a more BORING car out there?  
The girl is cute but doesn't have the delivery of DD.  Again she is cute so don't get rid of her but does she really LOVE cars and everything about them?  Does she lift the hood on a new Ferrari and think "Damn that's beautiful" or "is that the engine?"
The last comment, scorpion blah blah, was stupid and if the writers don't see how stupid it was then they need a swift kick in the teeth.

Actually, I heard that Stromer is a regular on Carolla's radio show and tat they have great chemistry together. So there may be hope anyways. Besides, Eric may be good for at least doing some decent vehicle builds. 

19th!!! Great show Carrie!!!
Finally Carrie is back from her honeymoon!!!

so hey, where do i get myself one of those cool Fast Lane Daily stickers??

  Almost all the up-coming supercars ( this next-gen Acura NSX included ) are adopting the - vertical twin exhaust mufflers - that was first seen in their Lexus ISF super sedan.
  I can seen hints of the Ferrari Fiorano 599 in this next Acura.

Great show as always! Carrie ROCKS! 
I agree I don't think the american Top Gear will be as good as the BBC version if they try to just copy it. If they let Adam loose and lose the pretty boy HGTV F*G it may have a shot.

WTF!?  The flickr photos showing DD kissing a dude...

I had my suspicions, but damn.

Top Gear US looks like it will suck ass.  Stromer's only plus is that he drives a TCH, but its not the car for a car guy.

Those Piaggo scooters are fugly.

Carrie did great until the lame scorpion line.  Someone needs to slap the writers of the closing comments upside the head.  They are 99% stupid.

I was fine with giving the HGTV guy a chance...till you said his car cred was driving a hybrid. 

What a garbage idea...

Why bother making an American version of TG? The original BBC version will be reviewing the same cars and in the same language, just in a better way than the American version will be.

I can see TG going the same way as the American version of The Office...

You sure thats a honda??? looks more like the 350Z Nismo Concept? I thought the NSX would have a low cut roof?

Oh dear, a guy from HGTV? this won't be good, it'll make our version of Top Gear look like a joke. Two gear heads and an contractor? yeah this is going to fly.....like an anvil.

4WS on the new NSX... NOOOO... That would be a mistake just like the old 88 Plelude with AWS.. Its a joke,, All gimmick and no real performance, rear wheels are not suppose to turn.. 

Wedding ring, shmedding ring.  Some of the hottest chicks I've dated were married.

#1 cure for a sexless marriage: do someone else's wife. Not that I want to knock it with Carrie.  Well, maybe not.  Oh, what the hell. 

Firefox 3 is finally out!!! Yay!!! :D :) :D

Everybody participate in the 24h most Firefox 3 downloads Guiness World Record attempt!!

___________
On a side note: Is there any compatibility issues with my favorite FastLaneDaily, or Garage419?

I love these shows, and I do wish to enjoy them on Firefox 3 as well.

Please let us know in your next episode that Firefox 3 will run with FastLaneDaily no problem. 

Thanks,
Max

are you FU%*ING SERIOUS!!! A guy from HGTV?!?! That stands for "home and garden tv" you know that right NBC?!! Derek D should of been the host, at least he's funny and knows some shit about cars...what a disappointment! wow...

I had to watch the episode twice couldnt stop looking at Carrie as creepy as that sounds ehh. haha shes hot what can I say I know im not the only one who thinks so.

Her ring is clearly on her finger.  Maybe you're looking on the wrong hand...?

Good show.  Can't wait for Top Gear here in the US.  Adam is a tool, but he is funny.  Ok..sometimes!  lol

What Charioteer wrote. X2.

Other than that, great show.  

Carrie's hot!

That's all I'm going to say...

Carrie, youre a great hostess with great delivery. Wheres the wedding ring? 

I was watching BBC Top Gear the other night. Damn its a good show, even though they hate us Americans. I hope NBC can do it justice...but I dont see how they can replicate the camraderie between Clarkston, Hammond, and May.

FLD, whats up with that Promo youve been showing? We're supposed to get excited that you crossed the bridge to Jersey just so you can take a look at a Volvo in a dirty Jersey back alley?

First gen NSX looked the best so far. New shape doesnt seem too exciting.

American F1 Team sounds cool.
