the only thing that gives me any hope for this is that will arnette is doing the voice of kit, the car
but i doubt one dope voice can hold together an entire series

I'd be shocked to see this do well

He drives an awesome Ford Mustang I think i'll watch the show the first couple episodes just to see the car.

*robot voice*

reach for the meth, michael.

Hell yea, at least they got rid of that GM garbage and used a real car this time. A Viper would of worked but that other show Viper tanked, lol.

Knight Rider was one of my favourite shows -- in it's time. It is a much different era now -- our world is much more 'high-tech' and a car with all this gadgetry doesn't seem like a big deal.

So, 4 major hurdles this has to get over:

1) Been done before
2) 'High-Tech' is no longer as impressive as it used to be
3) The younger generation today has a comparatively lower attention span / many more options besides TV for entertainment
4) 1982 TransAm still looks better imo

A mustang is impressive? The guy looks like he could be pulling up to the senior prom in that car with the way it's riced out. You didn't see the original trans am look like that. It was a muscle car. How about they build an original car. The only thing its missing are the altezza tail lights and spinner hubcaps. That piece of crap should be driven into a brick wall and then lit on fire, and then consequently cancel the show.

It's all about marketing - the way transformers was a giant GM commercial. I didn't mind it so much because the movie itself was awesome, but enough is enough. How about you take a sweet car that actually is fast - like an 8 series (and which not many people know about) - and you hook THAT up. I've seen people pull up to ruby tuesdays in nicer cars.

And FYI a viper is a piece of crap too. Why anyone would spent $100,000 on a dodge (or $60,000 on a ford, for that matter) is beyond me. They both drive like a piece of crap, and I've driven both.

indeed. they've recreated so much, even the chipmunks & thomas the tank engine from our young years and its ruined it all. ethnically correct trains now, no fat controller etc. it's tosh.

It really fucks me off that they're recreating this show. Leave well enough alone. Now they're going to ruin the memories I had of watching this show.

Oh god don't even get me started, alvin and the chipmunks that cartoon used to rock. Now it's all thugged out... please. no wonder kids are so screwed up.

as long as the principal from "Boy meets world" plays KIT in the movie then I will be satisfied

Bumblebee > Kitt

I always cracked up at the KITT vs. KARR episodes. It was just two cars driving in circles a round each other in some sand pit. How many things could they actually do to each other?

Uncorrect. The voice will be provided by Will Arnett.

No Trans Am and no Hasselhoff = no Knight Rider

LOL..why don't u post pictures of your shitbox and we'll see if its better than a viper. I really hope ur not saying an 8 series BMW is a better alternative....this isn't a bond movie. The 2008 Viper has 600 hp..are u saying this isn't fast?

KITT was the best car in teh world....

what the new car doesn't mention, is that the original kitt had a nuclear turbine as an engine (hear what it sounds like when it's cruising round corners?)

and a chassis that could take a trillion megasomething's of impact per square nanometer (which is why the bodywork was always intact)

and it was just better.

This season is Sean Tyas Rework season on TV.

lol

its a fast but you can take a crate motor and drop it in a hyundai and get 600hp out of that, it's only a matter of money. 600hp isn't really impressive unless you're getting great gas mileage or really turning some heads. A viper is a $100,000 dodge caravan. The ford GT is likewise a piece of crap too. Heavy hp motors, junk cars.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there, as I'm pretty sure many, if not the majority of, people will turn their heads at a Dodge Viper.

Well American people at least. We love big loud muscle cars.
