Knight Rider returns

..and KITT is a Mustang

Quote:

Stars from the new two-hour special stepped out at the NBC lot in Burbank, California, to show off a new Kitt - the Mustang Shelby.

Gone is the Pontiac Trans Am which played the faithful sidekick of David Hasselhoff, to be replaced by the sleek, suped-up Ford.

The Hoff has also been swapped for a new model, former soap star Justin Bruening who told journalists: "I am like a 10 year old right now, every time I turn the car on I just start grinning ear to ear because it sounds cool, I feel like a little kid who bought his own candy store and just gets to play around in it."

It is a little weird having KITT not be a Trans Am, but at least it's a cooler car

I have been following this for about a year or so. Not completely happy with the Mustang as the front end doesn't look right for KITT. I guess I'm just use to the nice sleek front of the original KITT. Looking forward to the movie and hope it does lead to a new series.

I don't know depending who makes it I hear a cheesy made for tv movie coming. But the car looks kickass!

EWWWWWW.. the car looks horrible.

Justin looks right for the part, though. I'm sure it won't be nearly the cut-up the original was.. bagging on that show was SUCH a good time. I was a huge fan... the cheese was so thick, you could cut it with a knife THROUGH the screen of the T.V.

That and Airwolf.. my sister's favorite shows and such fun to cut up on.

I LOVE the look of the new Mustangs. And while I was in Vegas last week, I rented one, and I really liked it. HOWEVER: I think the Corvette would have been a more suitable "replacement" for KITT, but I think the Shelby Mustang is a good fit. Here's to hoping it doesn't suck!

Hope it is a lot better than KR 2000 hah

Ghryphen · 02-18-2008, 12:13 PM

It was a lot better. May not be a long NBC series if picked up, but I liked it. Especially the Fordgasm, KITT was hott, screw GM.

It got picked up, saw commercials for it the other day

Best Ford Commercial EVER!
Actually I hear that they are relaunching and tuning the storyline. Not even sure the same people are in it, though I am pretty certain the stang stays, since Ford spend some cash!
