I just read this on Iwatchstuff!.com, it made me laugh:

When I heard the Knight Rider series was being planned for an updated remake, my first worry was if they would alter the natural perfection that spawns from David Hasselhoff driving an sarcastic talking car. Of course, they are.

First came news that Hasselhoff would not be in the driver's seat, which seems equivalent to rewriting the bible without Jesus, but now comes more tragic news: KITT may no longer be a Pontiac Trans Am. According to someone working on the Knight Rider effects team (adding a red light to the front of a car), the new vehicle will be a Ford Mustang.

The only positive I can see in this is if KITT will now be voiced by Toby Keith. At least then this could be watchable in the same self-affirming way that Walker: Texas Ranger is, where you feel good that you aren't someone who actually likes it.

Seeing as how they don't even make the Pontiac Trans Am anymore, I can understand them picking something different. You'd think Pontiac would have some kind of concept car they'd offer up to the show though. Being a Mustang fan though, I won't complain.
