Well. They can use whatever car they want to but I'm afraid this show will suffer. The problem, IMO, is that Hollywood prime time thinks this:

This was popular then, why not try it again with a slightly different, more modern flair?

Everything old is new again. We need new stuff that rivals the old without borrowing the old's carcass. Too much reality TV.

I like the idea of a car-based show. In it's time, the original Knight Rider was original, in line with what us as viewers liked. Today is seems originality is dead and remakes of everything 20+ years ago is standard, whether it be music (songs changed into remixed rap etc.) Movies (How many remakes of original ideas can you count) and TV shows like this one.

I wouldn't think anyone would complain if there was an ORIGINAL show featuring a Mustang or a Challenger. I think Hollywood producers have taken this idea of remakes to the absolute limit here of how many things they can "re-make" and crossed it just for a cheap buck. I don't doubt anyone alive today can write a better, quality show than what is out there today and using Knight rider as a mustang from a Trans AM just proves it. Stupid, stupid, stupid as they alienated those who watched and liked the original show. Blasphemy as Kitt as a Mustang.

It's time for Hollywood to wake up!

I really don't think they cared. Judging from the number of Ford commercials that were on during the show, it seems the Ford marketing department is the one that revived the show. They were pushing that SYNC voice activated system real hard, seems to me someone got the idea to revive the show due to the way that system works and the fact KITT interacts by voice.

yeah those commercials were constant, they even had a 4 part commercial... if i ever do watch the show again, i'll tape it with the dvr just so i can fast forward through all the damn ford commercials.
