I am so stinkin' mad I could spit nails. I am ecstatic they are bringing back Knight Rider, at least trying to revive it, as it was partly responsible for my interest in Pontiac that just grew from there and never died. However they are bringing it back as a Ford Mustang. Thats just friggin' WRONG.
They could have used the GTO or something, anything but a Ford. Geesh. What is the world coming to?
12-25-2007
I think the Camaro would be a good car to use.
12-25-2007
Should have used a Year One Trans Am. That would have been sick!!
12-25-2007
Trans Am or Bust!!!!
the show got me into cars! and by god I am a GM fan, NOT ford. I will be picketing!!!

I'll be joining you UR LOSN, just name the place. My wife ran into the room when I was screaming at the commercial I saw for it on TV asking what was wrong. I said they are using a Ford in the new Knight Rider.
Of course all I got was this look "And..?"

I just got myself a knight rider TA hotwheel last night.
If they use a Mustang, then they better use some doofie ass guy, like Hasselhoff.haha

Hubby says the Ford guys aren't even gonna like that. It's just gonna piss 'em off. The Honda guys are gonna love it."Euro lookin ****". It looks like a SRT Dodge. He wants to make sure you all know he is no Ford guy. He just got home and now he's pissy.haha
Those dumb ass people are gonna do this but they won't bring back the TA. Someone should be shot!

Pontiac made "The last Ride" with the GTO, why not make another?
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.
01-01-2008
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....
Knight Rider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

I didn't know that about the GTO airbag. They are supposed to bring the GTO back also. I want one SOOO bad but who can afford 'em? They made the last one's in '06 and they still have brand new ones that no one has even bought yet.
They do have several drawings and stuff of the New T.A. Look on my profile. You cant see it very well, but I have a pic and it shows the T.A. in different colors and styles.
I guess theres a black one in my photos.

I cant remember who the guy was, but he was some presidential regional over it all director of everything from Pontiac and in an interview he did, they admitted that the GTO was priced to high and their distribution of the GTO was also way off base and is probably what caused such lackluster sales. I would have rather they corrected what they saw was wrong (including the air bag thing, though I was not aware of that) and just keep selling it.

I test drove an '06. That young salesman said "I want you to be comfortable, drive it like it's yours". I laughed "Oh I'm gonna take you the test drive of your life." And he thought I was kidding. I came to a dead stop. I Got First,Second, and a Third gear scratch. I only let up cuz we were getting sideways. He was giggling like a school girl. I told him to put new tires on it before I buy it. haha Man I wanted that car!!! We are still looking. It has to be Black on black,6 speed,'05 or '06. Gotta be the LS2! That one was Silver. 4 car payments is too many!!

yeah the GTO will return along with the Camaro at the end of 2008 for 2009 based on the new ZetaII platform. I have had a subscription to GMHightech Performance magazine for the past 5 years. all of the story is in it.
If I dont get a G8 this year, I will be purchasing a GTO. I test drove a midnight blue/6spd, with the salesman in the back, and my friend in the passenger seat. I liked the sticks for one reason...the autos...when you put it in gear..you can feal the back end move down a good 4 inches for suspension load. I HATED that.
anyways, we beat the ever loving piss out of this car for 45min. the guy was trying to play it cool, like he knew about the car and what it can do... he didnt like us after that.
oh well!!!! there are quite a few up here with less than 3K miles on them. but I want a midnight blue one, or a yellow.

They changed the date on the Camaro. 2010. Thats when they'll be out. I read that a few days ago.
12-26-2007
Do Not get Yellow!! I love the Blue gauges! If you get a G8, you'll end up regreting it later. Faster is worth the extra insurance

I am sure I will get banned for this but I think that the last style of GTO were fugly. A grand am looks more aggressive IMO. I have never drove one, but I am sure they are nice cars but their looks just don't do it for me. They look like a 2 dr family car. Please don't kill me

I agree 110%. They never did anything for me. meh.I am sure I will get banned for this but I think that the last style of GTO were fugly. A grand am looks more aggressive IMO.
