Gonna watch it now but did you notice the "Presented By: General Motors Corporation" in the upper right corner? :lol:


Someone should have clued Jay in to some of the plot of the TV movie before hand. Other than that, it was alright I guess.... The silly thing with "KITT" talking thing I might have been able to do without especially with how it was done..

Curses! I was going to edit again...

Anyway, aside from that, is it just me or did that sound a little like Val Kilmer?

That was pretty cool. And if that was indeed Van Kilmer's voice, it sounded great. Much warmer and friendlier than the other one.

I think they really need to speed up the scanner though. I like the new light pattern, but it pulsates so damn slowly that you can't really tell WHAT it's doing most of the time.

Wow, NBC must really trust Jay Leno to be doing doughnuts and cruising around in the Hero Car like that! I wonder if Leno's going to have to pay for the wheel alignment the car now probably needs. :lol:

I'm all but certain that it was Val Kilmer's voice this time, by the way.

I'm 100% certain that it is Val Kilmers voice. David Bartis did say that we'd only "might be something on the NBC.com site or Jay's garage featuring Val's voice before the premiere."

Definitely sounds much warmer and better suited. Less processed too.

Totally agree. That was first thought when I opened the clip. That is VK. I like it better than Arnett!

Sorry but voice from the ads are way to deep made him sound like a villain and not to heroic. Now if they do have a series and have a bad Karr then that voice would fit.

As a Knight Rider, Trans Am and Daniels purist, well, I am becoming accustomed to the feel of the new show. Two very different cars that define two different worlds. I can live with that :-)

I'm getting more and more fond of the pony car. It looks so badass and now in real action! No tricks, no bluescreen, just plain cool fender-beging action! This is REAL Knight Rider! And the sound of that engine... dudes, 'tis amazig!

The car looks and sounds amazing! I wish Val's voice had more emphasis though. I really liked the voice they had on the nbc site when you check KITT out and I have the message and call receiving voice from KITT with that voice, sounds better than Val IMO. Anyone else get those message you can have on your phone from KITT?

Halleluja, I like Kilmer's voice so much better than the old one we have known from the commercials. It gives the car a whole new attitude.

I don't think anybody can. I believe it's an embedded coded video that is copy righted.You can't even download it to your hard rive. I won't go any further cause I believe this is a subject that gets you in trouble.

Right - this is unique content - and we can't upload it to youtube - but hopefully someone will for you.

We posted an embeddable version in our news section - can you see if that works for you?

Oh yea..I like Val Kilmer doing the voice it sounds more KITTish than the others that I have heard that sounded more like KARR. This version has a warmer tone to it making it sound more good like than evil.
