I was suprised when I saw this how similair the 2010 stang and the Camaro are, visually. They both have the little hood power bulge going, and have an extra body line going under the door handle. Also the spoilers are similair, and the rims are kinda similair. Don't get me wrong they are extremely easy to tell apart, but there are a lot of simlairities, but that's not a bad thing.

That's because the Camaro is so mega awesome that Ford felt that they had to make the 'Stang look as much like the 'Maro as possible to make it competitive (now if they had the motor to match the looks).

I quit watching Knight Rider because it was pretty much a giant Ford commercial, I don't really like Mustang's (although the new mustang isn't bad) and KITT looks like a car that an 8-year-old drew up.

P.S. JINX, those photoshops actually look pretty cool
I don't think the old Knight Rider needed the new show to give it an embarrassing reputation.....don't hassle the Hoff

C'mon dude,as much as some people would hate to admit it,if it wasnt for the Mustang we wouldnt even have a Camaro.GM originally jumped on the pony car bandwagon after the amazing sucess of the mustang.Now all this time later they decide to bring the camaro back,even though they made a big mistake with stopping production in the first place.If the Camaro was not copying the mustang then why go for the retro look.Why not go for something more modern looking ,but they went with basically an updated '69 camaro.Not trying to bust balls,but if it wasnt for the 'stangs recent sucess we wouldnt have the Camaro or the Challenger.

I agree totally,it is great to see the Big 3 back in the pony car wars,I hate all the imports no matter the brand!!! The Shelby KR500 that is the base Kitt is a beautiful car with 540HP. stock, all the Shelby extra's and in the black/silver color scheme.

I call shenanegans and blasphemy on this post!!! I hearted that show back in the day! Airwolf, Night Rider, and a bunch of others 80s shows were the bomb!!! How dare you!

Yeah the transforming stuff it stupid, but the super pursuit mode in the original show was ghey too. But I still watched it.

Its better than watch Reality shows like Dancing with the stats and Hell's kitchen, to me anyway.
I don't recall the pursuit mode in the original show... I remember the "Turbo Boost". Awe man! Too many adult beverages are jacking-up my memory!

I can't argue this one. Because GM wanted to get into that market so fast, I think Camaro was actually built on what was going to be the new Nova platform. Skyman' can probably correct me on this, but I remember something along those lines and that it was the first car designed with computers.

You know, I flat-out like how that car looks on that show. All black: very sinister!

+1 on that dude.I love the looks of the GT500KR.The power is pretty impressive too.Its a shame that the car is so amazingly overpriced though.I love Knight Rider its my favorite show on TV now.I was a HUGE fan of the original and to have it back on the air after all this time is awesome.Im also stocked that the pony car wars are back.Im also a import hater.Long live american muscle.I recently bought a Kia Rio but they are the only ones that would give me a loan.My credit's pretty jacked up now.I really wanted a Cobalt.I was dead set on the new Camaro,but after seeing the '10 mustang I just might have to drive both cars and see what one I will like best.

I realize this, heck, I've even admitted it before. I was really just jokin' around.
