its sponsered by ford...

Still looks like a pretty cool show though, i'll probably watch it. I dont care too much that its a mustang because in the original show nothing on the car was factory. Dont think of it as a mustang think of it as a super car designed to look like a mustang so it will blend in with other cars on the road.

IMO the mustang is pretty fugly. I wont be watching the show, seems like a tired gimmick.

"Most of the time KITT looks just like a bone-stock Shelby Mustang GT500KR with red lights in its hood scoops and a futuristic interior. When the going gets hairy, however, the new KITT morphs into Attack mode at the push of a button."

That taken from the edmunds article and judging from the pictures it sound like KITT is going to look like a plan mustang and then morph into that ugly thing in the picture. Looks like this show is designed to appeal to 12 year olds and not fans of the original show. From the fact that the car completely changes with the push of a button I have changed my opinion of the show and will not be watching.

Well, then there was always the KnighRider 2000 extraveganze where KITT was a 57 Bel Air... :dunno:

now THAT im ok with ;)

isn't this supposed to be on tv this month? i was a big fan of the original show and i hate that they are switching to a mustang. hell they could have used a WS6.

I bet the mustang section is all exited...lol

Thing looks like Barracade having a seizure and can't transform :lol2:

I liked the part when you see the rear panel and it says, "To Punish and enslave"

i will probly watch it once just to see what its all about.

oh shit was that iroc??? damn talking about a cameo lol...and as for the show nd that car..smh i dont like the cobra, it looks plan jane, i wish ford would have done more to it, the roush looks alot better if u ask me, and the new kitt looks gay as hell.....they should have brought him back as a honda or the new skyline if u ask me lol...i ill be boycotting the show for the fact, they fucked it all up when they didnt make him a f-body....hell a 2002 ws6 would have been the shit!!!! and are thy bringing in old ass david hasselhoff? now i may have to watch it if they did..hell if rambo and rockey can cum back, so can micheal knight!!!

haha. I think they are bringing in someone new to drive the new KITT. But david hasselhoff said he is excited to make a cameo in it.

I'm actually relieved that they made it a Mustang. Think of how many of them they'll total in the process of making that show. :lol: Better a Mustang than an F-body if you ask me.

oh sweet, hes gonna make an cameo? i may watch that just to see that!!

I saw a commercial for it last night, doesn't do much to impress me.

I bet the mustang section is all exited...lol

They'll all be slapping it silly over this...

It sounds like they're trying to have a little transformers tie-in there. Shitheads... can't they be just a little more imaginative?

Looks ghey, will not be tuning in. How dare they take the star of the show and cross contaminate with a FORD?

I am definately going to boycott this show. Cant beleive they using that ugly car!!!

Its on tonight! I may have a look to watch it transform into a bug...no, not a VW I mean that thing looks like a real bug.
Remember the writers strike, If they didn't have a professional write the script, it should be quite entertaining in a ridiculously cheesy way.....

Anyone watch it last night? It actually wasnt that bad if u look past the mustang.

in my opinion, the new movie sucked. Lame story line, bad cgi special effects, etc :disappoin . Only thing i liked about kitt was the voice. sounded like EDI from stealth. Anyone else notice the extensive use of new Fords in both the movie and comercials :screwy: ?

i watched it for a short time,it bored me so fast i turned it.the reason so many fords were in it is because ford sponsored the whole movie.so every commercial and vehicle was pretty much ford.

heres my opinion:
it was a ford commercial disguised as a bad tv drama series that pays no justice to the original knight rider.

seriously, the acting was bad, and like every car in the show was a ford.
i like how the fusion was keeping up with the gt500KR in the mountain scene. i almost shat myself over that.

yeah, im not watching any more of it

that would've been a little less bad if it were a fusion... but a freakin SUV, the edge is what was chasing them, and keeping up w/ a "super car"

i was thinking during the whole chase scene, "wow, ford sure is saying a whole lot about their gt500... can't escape from a v6 SUV"

lol, well either way, yeah, its a crappy scene and a crappy car chasing a gt500kr, which, by the way is the most powerful production mustang yet.

gt500kr, which, by the way is the most powerful production mustang yet.

ya that statement holds absolutely no value to me... lol the keyword is "mustang". fastest mustang might as well be a joke as far as im concerned :D

i think they should have used a G8 those things have some balls

I'm thinking that the actual car they are using for that show weighed something sick. did anyone see the rear interior. it's like a big computer or some shit. new mustangs already weight a lot imagine with all that movie shit in them. i remmeber reading an article on fast and the furious 2. and the eclipse ran like a 15.2 and the evo like a 14.1.. i think about weird stuff like that in movies. the fact that the actual car is way slower then what they are trying to tell me it is. I like the old show a lot better. anyone remember that show with the dodge viper? it was all decked out with weapons, and could change colors...i remember that show and everytime the dude was being chaced it was by 5 dodge stealths lol

I saw a new G8 this past sunday. The guy that ownes it works at this f-body shop called new era performance. i know they will be doing some sweet mods to it. this same guy used to own a cobalt ss with 280whp. they have a lot of sweet as cars that are associatted with that shop. One customer/friend of theres has a turbo z06 that runs like low 11's on 7psi. i raced the z06 at the track and he completely pulled away after 60ft.
