That's like bringing Herbie back as a Ford Expedition. Are these 20-something executives (fresh out of school and still weening from the teet) sitting in an office trying to find something to sell to the public so out of touch with the world they don't understand a car is love affair? People fall for a certain type of car, it becomes legend, it doesn't become a completely different car. "Oh we'll just stick KITT on it and everyone will be happy".

I want to nut punch the execs that whipped this one out. Watch, next it'll be..........

"The new Smokey and the Bandit, see Bandit in his new Focus Hybrid"

"Watch the Fall Guy coming in 2009. He really kicks some *** chasing people in his Honda Passport"

"Magnum P.I. is back and cooler than ever with his boosted civic"

Christ...........

PepBoys obviously had a hand in modifying this car.

OK,, I could live with,, but still not happy with Kitt being a new Mustang. The new Super pursuit mode has just gone to crap. Think Kitt meets Optimus Prime. Only thing worse than that is the "other mode I found for Kitt. Brace yourselves,,, it is a doozie,,




Check the video here,,, trust me,, it just keeps getting worse,,
