The Knight Rider car was changed two times after the original television series went off the air sometime around 1986. First a gorgeous Pontiac Trans Am in gloss black with a roving red scanner on its nose, KITT was later re-imagined as a re-worked Dodge Stealth in red. This was used I believe for a television movie or two, the first of which was pretty underwhelming in my opinion. Finally, about three years or so ago, in the newest and now finished series lasting only one season, KITT was again re-imagined as a Mustang, which, again in my opinion, simply didn't work. Too bad they couldn't just return to KITT as the original Pontiac Trans Am....It would've been a real challenge, but perhaps a truly creative and satisfying one, to see story lines featuring a car still well ahead of its time technologically, but with the 1980s body sensibilities that made the show a success for four years!!!
