    The original KITT looked like something special, like something you couldn't just buy at a store - now there it's just a Mustang.

    Now Mustangs are cool and all, but I really don't think it's a proper fit for KITT...seems more like really blatant product placement. It doesn't look tricked out or anything, where's the red "woop woop" light thing. It's just a normal looking Mustang, I mean come on...you don't just take a car and write "Knight Rider" on it.

    Don't hate on the Mustang... It is the best choice for the new Knight Rider car. Pontiac no longer makes the Trans Am, the new Camaro has none of the qualities of what the Knight Rider car should be so the Mustang is the next logical choice.

    If the show is a hit this will make Mustang Sales Jump, and keep the car alive for many more years.

    More pics here... http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/KIT...tRiderMustang/

    KITT Has a Holgram dashboard. NICE!

    I'm not seeing any Cylon style "red eye" on this new pretender.

    Original is Best!

    The KITT car just needs to look more badass than a normal car you can actually buy, it has to look unattainable.

    KITT is an American made car... Sorry Neil. So the production was smart to use the Mustang since Pontiac had their asses handed to them by Mustang sales. I think the new KITT is awesome, and I won't hate on the show because of the car. In Knight Riders final seasons the Firebird was being all tricked out for Super Pursuit mode and it looked awful. At least the only did minor mods to the Shelby GT 500. The nice part is I bet ford will make a Shelby GT 500 KR edition and that would rock nuts. Pontiac never jumped on the shows bandwagon and offered a Replice car and they should have there was a huge demand for them.

    My gripe with the new Knight Rider is the back story of the new Michael. Iraq War vet in conflict... WTF? At least the car looks to be the best thing about the show. the only other saving grace is the fact Doug Liman is a producer, and the guy directing has worked on some of the decent shows currently on TV (CSI, The Wire, Dexter, Big Love)

    when i bought my black trans am (94, six-speed, leather, t-tops, perfect for a remake of knight rider, if i may add), i almost bought an older model like the one in the show that had been converted....that'd been pretty cool.

    last i heard, though, gm is reproducing the trans am....here's a concept pic:



    this'd be a great way to re-introduce the line.....and way better looking than a mustang....no offense, dj.

    It has the red light, it is up under the air scoops. Look at the pics that were posted in the post just under yours.

    I like the look of that car, but lets face facts. The only reason the challenger, camaro and firebird are making a comeback is because of the retro 2005-2007 Mustang. Ford led the pack the rest are just following.
