Why in the hell would anyone pick a bright orange car, who's doors don't even open, over a beautiful black Trans Am who can talk, drive himself and is virtually indestructible? Doesn't make any sense to me, but what do I know?

I totally agree with you. Daisy Duke, or more or less Jessica Simpson, is probably going to be the only reason guys will go to see the new movie. I saw some previews on MTV and they have her the majority of the time in the movie in nothing more than a bikini. Now I've only seen the original Dukes a few times and I certainly don't remember Daisy Duke trotting around the whole show in a bikini. It just goes to show you that producers will turning anything into a T and A movie just to make it sell. It's kind of sad really.1982K.I.T.T. wrote:That just sickens me that the Dukes of Hazard is more popular. The only reason is Daisey Dukes. If Bonnie looked like her and wore short shorts, than KR would be more popular.

Here's the link.I saw the preview for the new Herbie movie.Yawn!Looks so heartwarming you could just barf.I agree about Jessica Simpson in the new Dukes movie for eye candy.Sure,Catherine Bach wore skimpy shorts,but not like what I've seen on Simpson.Also,wasn't Daisy Duke a brunette?I wonder,if I yelled in her ear,would I hear an echo?

If only I had a nickel for every time someone cut me off on the parkway and wished for a Turbo-Boost or Micro-jammer...

Most of the people who voted in that poll are fans of the original series way back in the 80's. It just goes to show how popular the Dukes of Hazard is when compared with Knight Rider. No one can doubt that it will be more comfortable travelling in KITT rather than in a tomato colored car with boxy styling and non-opening doors. It doesn't matter...the show was more popular with more people and it shows in the poll.

All "fandom" aside, here's my more "technical" analysis of why I'd pick KITT over the other cars as far as drivability:
General Lee:
Doors welded shut, too hard to get into, probably standard transmission. Odd coloring (I don't like a car that stands out too much).
Herbie the Love Bug:
As charming and fun as Herbie can get, I don't think I'd like such a 'mischievous' car that can drive on his own but not also at least communicate by voice so I at least know what he's up to.
K.I.T.T.
I'd like K.I.T.T. because he's more logical minded (most of the time ), and he can talk and communicate well. The ride would be very comfortable (seating is nice and comfy, I'd imagine and I assume the AI would be able to adjust to your specifications as needed). If you have a problem learning the system, K.I.T.T. can either take over or even probably teach you himself. He's quite knowledgeable, personable and friendly. Plus with his MBS he can't get damaged in a "normal" car accident! Speed and other features pretty much speak for themselves.
The Batmobile:
Too strange-looking for my tastes. I'd imagine high-tech but wouldn't be able to help you adjust to it's systems, tell you what you need to know to drive it, or adjust to your seating/environment needs.
DeLorean from Back to the Future:
See Batmobile. Plus the idea of going into a different time is a bit unnerving.

Next to KITT, the DeLorean Time Machine is my next choice of ride. It's the only one in the bunch that can fly and that helps a lot go through traffic. Not to mention that it can go forward and back in time, something than can be fun to do at times although the consequences can be a bit scary (but hey, life isn't all fun and games). I like Herbie too although I can't imagine myself driving him for long periods of time, there's just not too much legroom at all (or headroom, side room, etc.). If fuel economy was a big issue, then Herbie is the way to go (the DeLorean still ran on gas for its engine).
The Batmobile is cool looking although finding a parking space for it to fit into will be a daunting task. And getting into it and out of can be as difficult as the General Lee since it also has no doors to open.

K.I.T.T.'s gas mileage would give engineers in Detroit a heart attack. He was touted as THE most fuel-efficient car ever and could run on just about any type of fuel. So K.I.T.T. could get better gas mileage than any of them (well, maybe the Batmobile, also a Turbine engine system, might come a close second or a tie).HondaSiR wrote:If fuel economy was a big issue, then Herbie is the way to go (the DeLorean still ran on gas for its engine).

Yup, KITT ran on any kind of combustible fuel at a fraction of the amount an ordinary Trans Am would consume. But IIRC, Herbie was capable of running himself even without fuel (albeit in a slow limited manner). If not, that little bug would still give KITT a run for his gas since Herbie's engine is smaller and lighter.FuzzieDice wrote:K.I.T.T.'s gas mileage would give engineers in Detroit a heart attack.

If that happened in the KR series, I think Bonnie would definitely give Daisy Duke a run for her shorts...errrr....popularity. Between the two females, its a no-win situation for me. Bonnie all the way! Oh, and there's April's turn too to wear short shorts.chrisebourg wrote:You may have fallen on something there...... Bonnie in short shorts under KITT's hood????????

I liked Bonnie in sexy dresses, but I don't know if she would have looked right in extra short shorts...
Anyway, let's give the Dukes some credit, eh? As a West Virginia native, I speak for all the males (and most of the females) in this state when I say that the General trumps every car out there for style and power, except...
KITT, of course, and there's where I differ from the rest of the people in this state. They're KR fans, too, but the Dukes are more in their minds now. I've seen some nice looking Generals around here, too. From the way those boys were driving them, I think the fantasy was a little too real.
