Consumers Still Pushing For High Tech Cars

[Sith]

According to a new survey, consumers are ready to embrace James Bond's car of the future today - and the majority of them trust a software company such as Microsoft to be their co-pilot.

Results of the survey, conducted by StrategyOne on behalf of Microsoft
Corp.'s Automotive Business Unit and announced today at 2005 International CES, revealed that consumers ranked James Bond's gadget-filled Aston Martin DB5 as their favorite famous high-tech car, followed by KITT from the 1980s TV series "Knight Rider" and the Batmobile. In addition, if consumers could give their high-tech car a voice, their top choice would be former 007 Sean Connery's famous Scottish brogue. Their second choice would be that of actor James Earl Jones' Darth Vader.

I belive our choice would be KITT's voice. Or maybe KARR's.

I think James Earl Jones would just scare the crap out of me. Besides KITT, I kinda liked the voice of the computers in Star Trek the Next Generation; Majel Barrett who was also the wife of Gene Rodenberry.
