David Hasselhoff has apparently sobered up enough to try to stage a comeback.

I would have prefered:



Looks more like the old school firebird than the Mustang imo..

^ Whatever car they chose, what it really needs is the red cylon-eye sensor thingy on the front, otherwise it's just not KITT. :yep:

Is that a same car in the two pics in the op post? The one taken from rear lacks wings...

However, at least the car in the first pic looks cool. KITT surely needs "cylon-visor", but low-riding nose or David Hasselhoff are not that important imo :)

They were both labeled as being the new KITT. When it came down to researching an explanation for the discrepancy or not doing so, I opted for the latter.

My guess is that it's probably a "Before/After" thing. The bottom pic is probably how they got it stock, and then the top is after all the mods they made for the movie.

I hope it's that way... The top car looks so much cooler :)

It might also indicate the 'high speed turbo mode' KITT in one of the seasons received sidepots etc. to do that.

I think, hte two pics are testcars, what looks better.
In the first with a high wing and complete black, on the second with stripes and darkened windows.
The first is the normal KR-front just without the stripes.

Found on a german fan-board:


There are more pics : Klick

Framegrabs from the pilot episode:

The new Micheal (son of):



The 'support' crew:



Surfing, lesbian? FBI agent (the black longhaired one :) )


The flying garage:



It can change color and shape because of nanotech:


600miles 'will take about 3 hours depending on traffic :)


Interesting enough to check out what this will give.

Just watching this, and all in all not too bad, meaning the car, but the story was very MEH.
"Yo, microphone check one, two, what is this? The five foot assassin with the roughneck business"
"Are you my mummy?"
"Hello, Sweetie."
"Who's scruffy looking?"

Soo... ep01 is 'out there'
(spoiler:) Lots of bad acting and cheap special effects/CGI, but they try and compensate with lots of hot girls and fancy cars:





Enough to see what ep02 gives.

^ Ah, quite the usual case. If you aren't too sure a show/movie is going to do well, throw in sexy cars and ladies XD

I still rather meh about this series.
2nd ep tonight, so I probably watch it, at least somewhat.
