Confirmed!!!

"Michael saw the new Camaro at the 2006 auto show and immediately fell in love with it and wanted it for Bumblebee," Bernacchi said. Bay's long-standing relationship with GM also led to the car manufacturer's role in the movie's spotlight. GM has supplied vehicles for several of Bay's movies, including about 80 for "Bad Boys II," and Bay directed spots for Chevy earlier in his career.

Speaking of the bug and replacing car characters from the 80's, by principle I was a bit upset that Bumblebee was a Camaro and not a bug, same with Jazz not being a Porche, and so on. I'm happy that they were all GM, but its pretty much the same thing thats going on here (but not exactly)

1:30 clip of the show. I might watch the premiere just to see how good it is. It's not KITT, but it looks tolerable. They don't have the turbo boost though.

I saw the teaser last night for the new Knight Rider series. Starts Feb 17th (ck date). This was one of my fav shows in the past.
Edit:
Sorry, was in a hurry.

I'm confused...Is this a series, or...like a one-time movie special thing?

It's a TV Movie, but if it does well it may spawn a new series.

So... 'Yes' is the correct answer. LOL

I was a huge Knight Rider fan and when I found out it was a mustang, I was like "what are they thinking" but then I thought I should check out the photo of the new KITT... wow, that is horrid. What an ugly car for KITT!

Well if they are relying on people to watch it to maybe give it a series, they should have picked a better looking car, I for one will not watch it, poor KITT...what did they do to you!

SilverTurtle · 01-18-2008, 07:27 PM

I think I could have been ok with it being a Mustang if they hadn't put that ghey a$$ double wing and funny looking headlights on it... if they had just left it as the GT500KR, I think I might have liked it... because, in all honesty, I do like the way the new Mustangs look... but they just had to go and rice it out and make it look ghetto... and its all I can do to not just laugh my a$$ off at this whole thing

Roflmao · 01-26-2008, 05:21 PM

I went to the movies last night, and they were showing a behind the scenes look at the new Knight Rider show. I think it was for ABC or NBC. It is suppose to be a next generation of the first show... but the thing that disappointed me most was that the car they are going to use is a Mustang. It looked good and everything, but I thought it would have been awesome if the car would have been the new Camaro. Oh well, anyone else heard anything about this?
