I think my prius picture looks better..


...I dunno, I guess it's gotta be whatever the current sexy car is. At least they waited until VW Jetta's and Dodge Neon's fell out of trendiness.

I feel like the red lights are a little too high.

Yes, let's whine, moan, and cry about something you havent seen yet.

People like you are old men, you fear change and refuse to be objective. Dont like it, dont watch, people like me wont miss out.

I don't think the Mustang looks all that bad, myself...it's more modern.

In an odd bit of development it seems that Val Kilmer has replaced Will Arnett as the voice of Kitt due to conflicts with Will Arnett's contract with General Motors.....

KITT: "Hello Michael..."
The Hoff: "Batman?!"

Welp after seeing the pilot I have to say that I actually enjoyed it. If/when this is picked up as a full series it'll take me a bit to get used to the new voice and look for kitt. The transforming portion really is him changing colours (purple Kitt car....weird).

The Hoff appearing at the end and basically doing a "Luke...I am your father.." was a bit odd but it made for a nice transition to the series and I hope he appears again (as it was hinted he would).

I thought this was probably one of the more enjoyable Knight Rider pilots, and the first to get the series concept "right". Yeah, the semi being replaced again by a Jet and the VIPER concepts are blatant rehashes of Team Knight Rider and VIPER, but at least the original idea is still there regarding one man, one car, and a team backing him up.

All it requires now is to be CSI on Wheels with a touch of "Alias". K.A.R.R should by all means be the series top villain behind the next conspiracy plot or otherwise. And with Hasselhoff as a recurring character, they can also bring back evil twin Garthe Knight.

NBC on Wednesday announced that Knight Rider will become a weekly series beginning next season.

The Knight Rider series, spinning out of the Feb. 17 movie starring Justin Bruening, will air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m., with encores airing on Saturdays at 9 p.m. through the fall.

The Knight Rider movie in February scored the highest 18-49 rating for any movie on any network in nearly three years.

The series continues the 1980s franchise that starred David Hasselhoff.

Here's how NBC describes Knight Rider:

"As the sequel resumes, KITT is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body -- thanks to its creator's work and nanotechnology -- is capable of actually shifting shape and color. It is the ultimate car -- and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it."

The series will also star Deanna Russo, Sydney Tamiia Poitier and Bruce Davison. David Bartis, Doug Liman and Gary Scott Thompson are executive producers, with David Andron as supervising producer and writer.

Some images from the upcoming season of the new Knight Rider series. Apperantly there's now a K.I.T.T Cave.....

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index...ory=0&id=58930

SCI FI Wire got an exclusive peek at shooting of NBC's upcoming Knight Rider in its super-high-tech underground lab, the "K.I.T.T. Cave," on Aug. 20.

In reality, the lab--situated in an undisclosed location in an unidentified city--is actually an elaborate set at Santa Clarita Studios, just north of Los Angeles. The set represents K.I.T.T.'s multilevel underground hideout.

In the center of the set, on a rotating metal platform, sits the $75,000 2008 Ford Mustang GT500KR itself. When K.I.T.T.'s ready to go, it revs up and speeds down a tunnel inside a soundstage. "They don't let me drive it very much, but I get to sit in it, and it's pretty comfortable," admitted star Justin Bruening, who plays Mike Tracer, the ex-soldier who is the human companion to the super-intelligent talking car voiced by Val Kilmer. (Tracer acquires the codename "Michael Knight" in the show's first episode.)

Between takes this week, Bruening inadvertently cracked up his co-star, Deanna Russo, who plays his love interest, Sarah Graiman. "We also get to fight, too," she said. "I had to take fight-training lessons, and later on today we're going to fight."

Bruce Davison--who plays Sarah's father, the scientist who helped build K.I.T.T.--confessed that he's really a technophobe. "I'm not into this technical gadgetry at all," he said. "I had to learn a lot, but it has been fun."

The computers in the K.I.T.T. Cave are inspired in part by futurists at Microsoft, executive producer Gary Scott Thompson said. "We met with their technology people to see what they have coming up, and we were surprised that we were actually coming up with ideas that they weren't going to be doing for another 10 or 20 years or so. But we used some of their ideas."

Among the high-tech gadgetry: tables that that can download information from a telephone or computer set on top of them and computers that can manipulate images at the flick of a finger.

"I just move my hands over the computers, and someone in the back is flipping lights and buttons to make it look like I'm doing something," cast member Paul Campbell said. Campbell--who played the ill-fated Billy on Battlestar Galactica--plays Bill Morgan, a comic-relief computer geek. "I'm destined to play characters named Billy in TV-show remakes," he quipped.

The producers promise that the series will be less campy than the original 1980s show, while remaining funny and family-oriented. But there will be lots of eye candy: Thompson said the first episode has more than 700 special effects. "I'm not sure we will be able to keep up that level of fast action, but we're going to sure try," he said.

The show will update the characters and premise first introduced in a television movie/backdoor pilot that aired on NBC in February. Bruening's character has been given a mysterious past involving his experiences in the Iraq War, and he will have disdain for Blackwater personnel in particular.

On the day of SCI FI Wire's visit, the "attack car" version of K.I.T.T. sat outside the studio. It's the armored, battle-ready version of the Mustang into which the regular K.I.T.T. morphs.

"When someone says, 'So your car can talk; so what, so can mine?' then Knight says, 'Yeah, but can your car do this?'" Thompson said. Knight Rider premieres on Sept. 24 and will air Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
