Knight Rider - New Series coming out

[Rod]

Looks like the return of Knight Rider is here, and apparently they have great taste in the car they chose.

Looks cool. Let's hope they keep a little of the original tongue in cheek "seriousness that the original series had. Thanks for the heads up on that SWEET ride!

There was a pilot episode back at the beginning of the year, it looked pretty cool. Here's an article from Popular Mechanics that I found a few months back, gives some specs of the old KITT vs the new version:

Didn't this air about 7 months ago?

Just won't be the same without Hof

It did air some time ago, but I think it was just the pilot. This was definitely my FAVORITE show in the 80s. I always wanted a KITT (or a General Lee)

Saw the pilot and the actors were horribly bad. I hope they changed the two lead actors for the series.

The pilot was horrible!!! The car is sexy though.

2 hr pilot was horrendous. This show wont make it..

At least they got the sound of the mustang cobra correct. Throaty V8 rumble with the whine of an MP112 Supercharger!! Schweeet!

The pilot was unbearable to watch and the cars voice is terrible also. William Daniels should have been brought back to do it.

If they could just do the show without the actors, the Mustang could carry it. :thumbs:

 

[souldog]

Yeah, I was about as impressed with this as The New Speed Racer. Meh, I won't be watching it, it looks LAME.

 

["K"]

Meh, the riced out "double wing" completely ruins the Mustang imo. Hopefully, they take that thing out, or something, later in the series.

Heres a vid by Leno; KITT

And Gregor is right, you gotta have the Hoff.

Thats the only thing that WILL carry it, i tried to watch the pilot i had to change the channel. But WOW is that Stang pretty.

I reckon it would be more watchable if they used a true muscle car from 'back in the day'. All these new cars are too sleek and clean. No sexy lines to be seen.
The Knight Rider car should be a '69 Stingray ZL1 (yep... they have to find on of the 2 ever made... or make a replica).

 

[HenrysCigar]

Watched the pilot and I guess, I will watch a little bit but truth be told, I don't even like the car much. +1 on not lasting long.
Have a nice weekend everyone.

Drive a new Cobra and then tell me that's not a muscle car.

I love old muscle cars from the 50's and 60's, and have driven many. The new Mustang/Cobra is the closest you'll get to a true modern-day muscle car. The new Challenger looks great, though I haven't driven it yet.

Since the First Knight Rider was a Trans-Am I figured they would have went with the new Camaro, but hell I am a GM slappy so what do I know.

x2 It was a little too cheesy for me. I may give it another go just to see the car again

Ford paId alot of money to have them use a FORD VEHICLE. I noticed when the opening movie debuted they had alot of FORD commercials featuring Micheal and Kitt. Also in one of the chase scene were the Crossover Ford vehicle (EDGE) was keeping up with the Cobra.. UM YEAH RIGHt!! Who writes this garbage?
