Anyone seen the 2hr show last week of Knight Rider? It brought back memories of the old series - initially my thoughts on the Mustang being used for the car didn't make sense since I would think the producers would have used a car that was more "advanced" or prototype looking. No disprect to Mustang Owners.

The Mustang design did grow on me and it does look good. I just didn't like it when they added a double wing.

I wonder if it will become another TV series...

i don't like a mustang for being kitt.

I recorded it and watched it with my son. I thought it was nice that they included David Hasselhoff in the ending. I didn't mind the car being a Mustang. I just thought the whole show was a Ford commercial - even the villains car was Ford and the only GM truck included was completely destroyed. I grew tired of the Ford Focus commercials made with the show's cast. I'm sure they'll bring back the series.

The Shelby mustang's cool. I think the new car fits. GM got no Firebirds out yet. The new Camaro perhaps?

I watched it Vernon and it brought back a lot of memories from the TV show with the Hoff and KITT.

That was a goos show and I think anyone that weatched regularly would agree. However I think this TV movie wasn't so good.

No current version of the Trans Am being made now to modernize it for the movie. I liked the Mustang

I like them in general, but this was off the hook

IMO. Did you heat it's exhaust note?

Just my

Did any one else catch the 137mpg KITT gets now

Think globally, act locally.

I know,

I kinda enjoyed it. It was different enough from the original to stand on its own, but now I want to see the original all over again! Yeah, I would like to watch a new Knight Rider series with my son, I hope he enjoys it as much as I did at his age.

Liked the Mustang, hated the double wing- cheeeeeezie! The show needs a Rolex lurking about, too...

I am a big fan of Knight Rider and had high hopes for the new series. But that 2 hour pilot movie was just painful to watch.

Kitt as a mustang just doesnt seem right. Since there is no Firebird out at the moment, using a Z06 would have been an ideal choice

BUT A MUSTANG???

mikey · 25 February 2008, 12:14 PM

Question, the Hoff should comeback as Michael Knight with an updated KITT still in the Firbird family and do the show again. Magnum PI should comeback with tom selleck driving a Ferrari 360 and new stories cuz none of the other shows were linked.

Sean84 · 25 February 2008, 12:19 PM

I like the new Mustang....looks good

RogerF · 25 February 2008, 12:33 PM

Dont get me wrong, for a car the Mustang is awesome!!! As KITT though...... :(

hotwheels396 · 25 February 2008, 12:34 PM

Sorry, but kitt should have been a corvette, a step up from a pontiac..

RogerF · 25 February 2008, 12:41 PM

hmmmm just had another thought since they were sponsored by Ford, why didnt they use a Ford GT as Kitt?

samsung82 · 26 February 2008, 04:15 AM

I hate ford can't watch show

The car they are using is a Mustang GT 500 KR, Kr meaning King of the Road, select Ford dealers will get them, and believe it or not, they will bring more of a premium then the Ford GT, my estimates, from my Ford dealers are saying that they are pre-sold, and going for over 150,000 US dollars.
