Well, that was something interesting. It's like the best of '80s cheese with a nod to the '08 series and...I've no idea what it was they were even selling. Like took me right back to the day when Xena took on a nation's army and everyone had to just kind of stand there, trying to act while having nothing to act to.

No. Really. Was this some kind of internet service? Some new OS? A financial company? What were they selling???

It was a commercial for a type of stock exchange/trade monitoring service. If you really close you can see buy/sell on the screen. USD for U.S. currency I think. When Kitt said I feel like a million dollars, Michael said more like a billion since he saw that screen of figures.

How can you consider that body an upgrade to an older style vehicle?

A pity they couldn't get William Daniels to voice KITT, like GE and Kwik-Fit did in their ads featuring KITT
in recent years. While we all know he's 80+ years of age, he could still quite literally phone it in!

Even I could do KITT's voice better than the voice actor they used in that ad!

I think it's a sign of British luxury. Sadly, that is more of a guess, then anything.

Could be worse. It could upgrade to the tomato mobile Knight 4000.

Kitt wouldn't be caught dead in red...again. (Even in a non-cannon, off shoot advertisement, I suspect.)
