Nov 28 2007Knight Rider May Be Built Ford Tough
When I heard the Knight Rider series was being planned for an updated remake, my first worry was if they would alter the natural perfection that spawns from David Hasselhoff driving an sarcastic talking car. Of course, they are.
First came news that Hasselhoff would not be in the driver's seat, which seems equivalent to rewriting the bible without Jesus, but now comes more tragic news: KITT may no longer be a Pontiac Trans Am. According to someone working on the Knight Rider effects team (adding a red light to the front of a car), the new vehicle will be a Ford Mustang.
The only positive I can see in this is if KITT will now be voiced by Toby Keith. At least then this could be watchable in the same self-affirming way that Walker: Texas Ranger is, where you feel good that you aren't someone who actually likes it.
KITT to be Cast as a Ford Mustang in New Knight Rider Series? [Jalopnik]

For yet another time we need to see David on Tv. I hope that at least him is enjoying the situation.
There's no such a car in europe...can't they use a 500?

they should have used a Ford GT, it's the only other car I wouldn't frown upon taking the mantle as the new Kitt

wen u remake a show its never as good as the original. another thing is that mustangs are great. the only way a mustang is bad if ur a dumbass and get one with a 4 cylinder or a v6. fords biggest mistake. mustangs are one of the original muscle cars. at least theyre not using some pos jap car or some oversea garbage
