Most of the images are too big to hotlink, but here's a sample:

The side scoops are a little cheesy and the double rear wing is teh ghey, but other than that it's kinda cool. Also judging by the comments the hardcore Knight Rider fans are pissed it's a Ford product. Not that it matters, I bet the show doesn't make it a full season anyway.

Full story

Is the voice of kit the same?

I kinda like it.

Whoever he is, I have no idea who did the original voice.

Absolute blasphemy. But it does allow them to add to Kit's vocabulary: "Warning, check engine light is on. Warning, check engine..."

Gob on Arrested Development is the new voice.

I don't like it... IMO KITT should be understated yet cool... not a flashy muscle car

how original!

:rolleyes:

They replaced the cool car with that POS?

you're right the SHOULD use a Firebird, eh wait they dont make those anymoreLMAO

The original is William Daniels. Played John Adams in 1776.

And if the voice isn't William Daniels, I'm not interested. :harumph:

:LOL: This is exactly why these remakes never work, if they make everything the same, people will criticize them for being unoriginal, and if they change everything, people will be pissed about that too.

Isn’t the new Camaro supposed to be out this year? :shrug:
Pony boys won’t be laughing long when they have to face a Camaro with an LS-6 engine. :fire:

I'm actually surprised it's not a Japanese hybrid with Rosie in the lead...

To an extent you're right.

I have no problem with the car, no problem with the cast, but I draw the line at KITT. William Daniels WAS that car, dammit.

1776 is awesome...

yea how long till that gets the ax too? LS-6, nothing a little boost cant fix.

I agree.

The original car was way over done and so is this Mustang.

I sure hope nobody ever needs to ride in the back seat. :D

GOB is the SHIT!!!!!!!!!

Every model has it’s ups and downs. Didn’t Ford quit making the Mustang for a little while in the late ‘70’s early ‘80’s? Seems like the Mustang II almost killed that model.
Hell, even Jeep took a hiatus from the Wrangler YJ until they came out with the Wrangler TJ a couple years later.

True, but what if the LS-6 is boosted, or sprayed? Right now GM offers a factory NO2 “dry” system that adds a warranty friendly 125 horses at the touch of a button. :eek:
Motorcycle Drag Racing Buddy has a GTO with the 6.0L LS-2 engine so equipped and he’s already run on Z06 Corvettes.

First off, that car is a horrible KITT. Secondly, the original voice is none other than the principal from Boy Meets World. Granted, I know that show was horrible, but atleast it had Topanga in it and we all got to share her struggles with her weight, which seemed to fluctuate every episode...it was like a little fun game every week, one week fat, one week not bad looking..especially if you had a few beers in ya..and so on.

Um no, it came close, but never went out of production. I believe in 80 and 81 the 302 was replaced with a 255 V8, but the 302 came back in 82.

I’ll take your word for it. My Pony history is pretty rusty.
Still have respect for the Ponies though, even if I’m more of a bowtie guy. ;)

They should not have disgraced the Mustang Cobra that way.

Should have been the new Camaro or something totally g@y like that, since the first one was a GM product.

[QUOTE=Chan93lx50]You're right and then when it did, the 5.0 Mustangs actually helped out GM's F-body (Camaro/Firebird) cars in that there was actually horse power to be made from polution controlled vehicles. The race was on again - so to speak. However, the GM F - bodies couldn't keep up sales wise and they quit making them. We'll see what happense next year.

I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to it, but from what I understand this time around the Camaro will be much closer in price and performance to the Corvette. That’s both good and bad, because in the past they’ve been limited so as not to compete with the Corvette. Bad news is they will probably take a chunk of sales out of the Corvette.
Personally, I’m ambivalent towards the Camaro, but I’ve been a Vette fan since I was like 7 y.o. and if that ugly azzed Camaro damages the Vette I’ll be pissed.

So what is K.I.T.T. going to stand for now, since it originally stood for Knight Industries Two Thousand?

What a POS.

:whackit:

That was the stupidest show ever!

"Michael my tires are low"

"Michael I need an oil change"

"Michael there's a bad guy"

Michael - get a FUGGGIN LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Mr. Feeny! I'll be damned.

That car has droopy eyelids.

Heh, you’re right, hadn’t noticed that before. Almost looks stoned.

No Hasselhoff?? Forget about it for me.

Knight Industries Three Thousand. ;)

Apparently he will return in a "special guest star appearance", whatever that means.

I was kidding.

I couldnt care less if that ass monkey returned.

Hopefully that car gets blown up in the first episode like the last time they tried to restart knight rider.. It had like five or six different cars that talked?? Anybody watch that at all..Think it only made like 3-4 episodes..

**** it.. They need to do a crossover and have the Wraith in there.. The dodge turbo interceptor as a bad car..

Who are they making this show for? Seriously, who is going to watch this crap?

The same people who watch all the other crap that's on TV? :shrug:

The engine in the Camaro will be the ls-3 6.2 liter.

I believe the new one is the three thousand.

The scripts for this show should be used against the writers in the strike negotiations.

Looks like Val Kilmer of all people is the new voice of KITT.


http://www.variety.com/article/VR111...id=14&cs=1&p=0

A carmaker conflict has caused NBC to hire Val Kilmer to replace Will Arnett as the voice of KITT on its "Knight Rider" revival.
Arnett ("Arrested Development") had already completed his part for the pic, which is slated to debut on NBC in less than two weeks. Producers Doug Liman, Dave Bartis and Dave Andron -- along with the network and studio -- were all fine with his performance.

Problem is, Arnett had a contractual conflict of interest.

For the better part of a decade, Arnett has done voice-over work for General Motors -- as the voice of GMC Trucks. NBC's new "Knight," however, is "played" by a Ford Mustang.

What's more, Ford isn't simply providing cars for "Knight Rider." It's taking an active role in the marketing and branding of the pic, a backdoor pilot for a possible series. Ford's logo even appears all over NBC's on-air promos for the pic.

Not surprisingly, when GM found out about the Ford connection, it asked Arnett to pull out.

"I was very excited at the prospect of playing the part of KITT in the new 'Knight Rider' movie," Arnett said. "However, because of a long relationship with General Motors as the voice of GMC Trucks, I had to respectfully withdraw from the project."

While NBC and Universal Media Studios will have to scramble to replace Arnett's dialogue with Kilmer's work, the upside is landing a well-known name for the part. In addition to his roles in pics such as "Batman Forever," "Heat" and "Top Gun," Kilmer has done plenty of voice-over work, including the voice of Moses in 1998's "The Prince of Egypt."

I'm intrigued. I wish they would have gone with Feeney for the voice, but GOB would have been cool as well. Kilmer?!?

"Your transmission has ground into bits, Michael."

I say the pilot

This week on Knight Rider, KITT's going to have to become... a rapist!

1st 10 minutes: worst re-make ever, and that's saying something with all the bad remakes.

This picture of KK looks better than the one on the commercials, OVERKILL

Wow. The original show wasn't all that good. This is going to be horrible.

Whoa, is this on now? Channel?

Nevermind, I found it.

HORRIBLE

Holy Shit Micheal Knight just got shot!!!!!!!

This has worse acting than the fast and the furious movies

You're still watching it? I lasted one segment.

I just started it litterly 3 min before i posted that he got shot, i was watching the Royals

If Mystery Science Theater 3000 was still on they could totally commentate on this pile of shit.

Great job NBC
