heck in Knight Rider 2000, they used the banshee..the prototype to the fourth gen's. surely they have a new prototype for the new TA....since the GTO didnt pass the new airbag standards......or at least use the G8!!! that is a badass car

THey used a Dodge Stealth in knight rider 2000.

I agree 110%. They never did anything for me. meh.

They had pictures of one already done up. Remember the GA's with the straight back window. Thats the one!

I thought then they were going down a dangerous path. My mom owned a GTO and I still remember that beast to this day and just putting Grand Am and GTO in the same sentence was repulsive to me.

Can you find and display pics of this grand am?

It just further contrasts how bad Pontiac missed it with the look of the GTO.

Dodge has done a great job with its retro cars (except the charger) The new challenger will be killer for sure.

They are all over the place up here in Canada.

AH FUWEY!, your right. Banshee was featured in Back to the Future II for a brief second.....

I found out why they are using Ford, Read the history of Knight Rider in the middle....

I think you need to read it again. Go down to Trivia and read the forth paragraph.

Matter of fact here it is:
"The studio was unable to use a real Pontiac Banshee for the movie, so instead it hired Jay Ohrberg Star Cars Inc. to customize a 1991 Dodge Stealth for the Knight 4000. The custom car can also be seen, albeit briefly, as a stolen supercar in CHiPs '99. "

Not being a Dick but I am a Knight Rider Fan and I know my knight rider.
