Its cool how they made places for the foglamps and stuff on a 4th gen BUT, the scanner is way too far down. Makes me think of the pilot episode bits where KITT's scanner was in the wrong place. Other than that one lil problem that's a very nice nose design.TurbomanKnight wrote: I would prefer my 4th gen nose from Mr. Don Colie. Over at http://www.adiautotech.com
Non-techie shows like Dukes of Hazzard or Herby wouldn't make much sense if they were updated to look futuristic, but Knight Rider or Batman, that's a different story because it was all about cool technology and spy gear. KITT had an ominous look to him, so did the 90's Batmobile, reminded me of a big black bird. I think the 4th gens have a bit of that bird-esque look to them.andy-kitt wrote:I believe that KITT is a '82 Trans Am the same as the General Lee is a '69 Dodge Charger.
(I'll assume you meant the pics at the top): I agree, it certaintly won't be KITT without those black ball hubcaps and a nice wrap around digital dash with TV's. I don't really like the stock 4th gen noses cuz they're too short and blunt, so was the stock nose on 1982 T/A's, not enough room for the scanner. A modded nose would be a must and the scanner has to be in the right place. It looks awkward if its too low in the header panel of the nose. I like Cesar's nose though, makes me think of a raven's beak. I also like how everything on it is almost seamless, you can barely tell where the headlights are, everything is so flush.Skav wrote:The TA in the pics is the pefect one for the new film! Just change the nose because it looks too pointy and perhaps, change the wheel plates to the bowling cap ones used in the original series. Then we have our new KITT, IMO.
Why would they use a 3 year old car? Maybe the new Michael just so happened to drive a 4th gen when he was a police officer. Remember, in the 80's pilot, Michael just so happened to drive an 82 T/A. Ironic that KARR would also turn out to be an 82 T/A. Perhaps old Mike was in such a long coma that it gave old Knight Industries time enough to screw up once and still try again to make a safe model.Army_F_Body wrote:But the fact is the newest model available is a 3 year old used car. I don't think the average movie goer would even notice the gesture or care. You'd get the same effect if you used a new Vette or something. Plus why would the most advanced car in the world be based on a dead car line and an out of date body style?

I'll say it again... CAMEOS!!! There would be the new 4th gen KITT, but old KITT could still do a cameo. Like say for instance Knight Industries still had an old test model lying around from when they first started trying to make a supercar. Cameos would also work with the actors. In Hulk they had Lou Ferrigno (the wrestler guy from the original) cameo as the security guard and in the Brady Bunch spoof movie they had old Alice (Florence Henderson) as the grandmother.Lost Knight wrote:Besides, if there were only a new vehicle, most fans would probably complain about the new car and miss the old '82.
LOL... are you and "KARR Crazed" the same person?knightrider#1fan wrote:i was born in 1982 thankyou. nothing would be the same with out having the original KITT and william daniels for the voice
