- Haohmaru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It'll fare better with the fanboys than Megatron's new look.
- contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Needs more Hasselhoff.
- anonatron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wow, even the Dodge Stealth from Knight Rider 2000 looks dated now...
- anonatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I guess it comes down to the voice more than the body, hopefully they get William Daniels to voice KITT.
- guytoronto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes, common. All it was was a Pontiac Trans-Am. $11,000-$14,000 in the 80's. A lot more affordable than the $650,000 CCX.
Yes, the bad guys drooled over it. The same way people drool over a shiny, new Mustang. - covertbadger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Common? I seem to remember half of the 'humorous' subplots in Knight Rider being crooks trying to steal KITT because they thought it was so cool. I don't ever remember it trying to be inconspicuous.
- covertbadger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Except the GT500 is, by all accounts, an unreliable sack of *****. One man can make a difference, as long as his car doesn't conk out before he can reverse out of the trailer.
- ReiAyanami, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No no no! That won't do at all!
That car DOES NOT make me think of KITT! It actually makes me sad looking at that picture. That car looks too much like a luxury vehicle...and not a sports car.
I agree...it needs to be a Ford GT...fits KITT better.
If they can't get William Daniels to be the voice for KITT again, they better get someone else who's worthy. If KITT is an ugly car...AND A BAD VOICE...the movie will be ruined for me already right there - Neploxo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is a fake. It was on Aintitcool last week. No digg, inaccurate.
- 0v3rk1ll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2KITT rocks! I hope they try to keep it as close as possible to the original series, with the cool AI and voice-stuff...excellent. :-D
- kebernet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2oops
- Roguecop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3BTW here is your next theft...

dugg down and ready to be stolen... - Kinsbane, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2No Saleen S7, no care.
If there's a possibility of an "exotic" being KITT, at least keep with the "American muscle" aspect of it. - bonked, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This movie is going to blow anyway - When the 'hoff was on Opie and Anthony, he talked about how the original group working on the movie "didn't have a clue, they wanted to make it like the Starsky & Hutch movie - Knight Rider isn't a comedy."
So they got new writers, etc. - Not a good sign, part of the nostaligia that the audience will look for is being able to poke a little fun at itself. - fireflash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol I was just thinking they should make KITT a Viper, that's more fitting.
But there's a high probability that this movie is going to contain mass suckage, but being the old fanboy that I am, I'll be there...opening night..... - Roguecop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You know every single submitter that steals my story has Diggnation listed as friend. WHAT...THE...HELL???

Getting bloody sick of your s*** guys! That is five stolen front pages so far...
This thing doesn't work for regular people, you just get dugg down and have your submissions stolen... - blakebritton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The car from Knight Rider 2000 was a Pontiac Banshee I believe... Hell if you're going to bring in a new KITT...get a new car! When the TV show was on...the old KITT was a pretty cool and hip car.
Now how about the old TV show VIPER? - I liked that one... - Langford, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4It looks high-tech, but it doesn't look anywhere near as cool as the old one. I say bring back the old KITT, but with updated gadgetry.
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wait so a lone crime fighter decides that a flashy car is the best way to go on his crime fighting lifestyle...
Not to mention wearing a leather jacket in the middle of sunny southern california... - MobbyG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I think it looks sweet! It hit me right away as "Yep! That's KITT!" But I do have to say, that as long as there is a good plot and good story telling, I'm not going to be too worried about what KITT looks like. But I think it would be cool to have like a Photoshop contest to see how certain cars would look as KITT.
- reichg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The new car looks nothing like the original car, at least this version of kitt that they used before, looks like a updated version of kitt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Knightrider2000.jpg and not a brand new car. If they are updating kitt into a high end car they should make it really bad ass and use a ford gt 500 http://www.edmunds.com/media/reviews/top10/hippest.vehicles/05.ford.gt.500.jpg or maybe go old school with a 67' Shelby 500 mustang
http://www.dreams-cars.net/images/Galerie/Shelby/Shelby_GT500_Eleanor_1967/Shelby_GT500_Eleanor_1967_05.jpg . Anything would be better than that car. - audihertz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Horse crap! I cringe at the idea of this coming to the big screen, but I can't help myself from wanting to see it.
- hairyjewels, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Car looks good. Amazing in fact! But the re-make of the show shouldn't happen. Let the show go down as a legacy. Bringing it back with new technology is just plain cheesy. Don't hassel the hoff
- guytoronto, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5The cool thing about the original KITT was that it was a fairly common, cool car at the time. The Koenigsegg CCX is too high-end.
There are a lot of cool consumer level cars available. I'd love to see a black mustang as KITT.
http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/mustang/ - hipstershaun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1" with its blazing speed and high-tech good looks (and extreme blackness)."
I don't think this car qualifies for the last part of this description 'til they put a set of spinners on it. - chazsmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just hope they don't totally screw up this movie like they did with The Dukes Of Hazzard and Starsky and Hutch. Two great shows totally flushed down the drain.
- rediculous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Jeremy Clarkson claims that this car is what he used to help him quit smoking."
- Barbarino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Totally agree, it should be American either the Ford GT or the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo.
Imagine smokey and the bandit with a Konnisegg, it would be lame..
