The Corvette above would make for a great new KITT for several reasons. It's hot and all american are just a few.

The Mustang is awful looking!

absolutely a much more appropriate reiteration of KITT for purists, but from a marketing standpoint......

.....this could turn into a domestic F&F extravaganza if it takes off. LOL!

"Have you seen my childhood??? I'm searching for that sacredness in my youth...cause I been lookin around and now I found ,,,,,that KITT's a Stang!!!!" LOL!!!

Ladies and gentlemen,, we are gathered here today in remembrance to our beloved classic, and highly known TV vehicle,,,,KITT. T'was not so long ago when we could all see him on the TV set Turbo Boostin, and super Pursuitin, across our screens,,, just knowing that he was virtually unstoppable. Such a classic icon of the show,,, an instant recognizable celebrity status which set it apart from all other TV cars of the period. We now commit the body of our favorite beloved TV character to the dead storage room. Dash's to Dash's,,,, rust to rust,,,,forever will he be remembered to all of us,,,,, who spend the bucks,,,,(to get the box sets) LOL!!!!!

That 'Stang looks more like the last Batmobile. Shoulda held out for the Camaro or even the Charger. Too bad Pontiac hasn't seen fit to follow up with a tribute model of its own. Embarrassment, I suppose after the turbo's belching chicken.

I'm a bit let down to be honest.
Personally I don't think the mustang is the right choice.

Knight Rider will never be the same without having that signature Black T-Top.

I love the Trans Am emblem and all it's forms. Very iconic.

+1 It is a horrible choice. Saw another ad where the iconic red strobe light is tucked into the divided air dams on the hood. The old Kitt was instantly recognizable no matter where it appeared,, and I (as a kid) was excited to see it every time. I know that things happen in rotation, and as another , member said, the Vette would have been less of a deep cut to honor this program. At least the vette would stay very close to the true essence and spirit of the program which made it the hit that it was in the day.



Am sorry,,but this is not KITT as we all know and love him!!!! NBC are you reading this??!!!!
