Knight Rider GPS Way Too Funny

To be honest, I could care less about the new incarnation of Knight Rider, but I was a huge fan of the original series. So I was stoked to stumble across the Knight Rider GPS in the mobile electronics hall. It's exactly like other systems, except the voice that gives you turn-by-turn directions is KITT's. And while I know that sounds cheesy, I totally ate it up. There are 300 names stored in its memory—sometimes it's good to be John—and the system will even deliver personalized messages before you start a trip. Check out pics of the bad-ass KITT replica they had in their booth below, and click here to see the GPS in action.

I love the new Shelby GT500KR KITT car. I watch this with my son each week and I like it. I'm not kidding. If you miss a episode you can see it online as well. I'm glad they picked the GT500KR, it has made the show great. Maybe because I"m a Stang Freak ?

Honestly, nothing will beat the original Knight Rider (KITT)...

I think the whole transformation thing is stupid in the new one (thats my only gripe)...totally unrealistic!!! At least the original KITT morphed into something a little more credible.

So when does the new season start...? My GF and I are totally bummed its over already...

Yeah the new knight rider season is actually pretty good, didnt really watch so much of the old one. Just watched season 1 episode 16 last night.

yeah the only thing i don'really like on the new one is when he uses his turbo boost he flys like right over the car or houses, thats a little bit to corny but the transformation thing is alright I guess

I wish in the video for the GPS that the stupid Shell ad pops up over half the screen! Kind of hard to see when half the screen is a stupid ad.

So is the show really over...? Been pulled?
I can't believe the same happened to Terminator (Sarah Chronicles).

I love Muscle Cars as much as the next horsepower freak, and campy Knight Rider, too, but a Mustang as K.I.T.T.? That was an automatic fail from the beginning.

I did think the Mustang in itself was awesome, but K.I.T.T. will never be associated with a Mustang. Knight Rider without a Firebird is like Motley Crue without Vince Neil. It just ain't gonna work.

Yeah, good thing for TiVo. I got a hold of the "Made for TV movie," or pilot episode. I scrolled through most of it, it was so bad. Even the parts with the Mustang sucked. All in all, I still want that half-hour of my life back.
