Someone please tell me that the analog guages are going away....at least in the series. Otherwise the KITT of old was more advanced.
Also, I like what I've seen in the clips of of the new series with the actors. I hope that the new KITT will still haev a strong relationship with Michael. I remember one clip of someone saying that the car was "more confident" this time around. I just hope that doesn't mean that the banter btw KITT and Michael doesn't stop. I liked the ep where KITT keeps michael alive by keeping him awake. I want to see that sort of bond btw driver and car.

Read the 2nd part of the Bartis interview and it will tell you that it is not a stock dash that they have done something different to modernize the dash.

Sorry. Missed the second part. I just hate the look of the "numbers". I do like the graphics for KITTS functions. I think this series may work. I'm cautiously optimistic.

As Neil reminded me, we just have to wait to see how things look when we see the movie.
My thoughts are: They want to give us enough to capture attention without spoiling everything and they want to show off a few surprises.
I don't even think the actors are seeing everything - Yet.
I'm also eager to see more behind the scenes to see how they did things after the movie airs

Actually, what he's describing sounds very similar to the cockpit of the F-22 Raptor, which is basically three color LCD screens and a HUD. And since the F-22 is the most advanced aircraft ever built, and given the original KITT's jet heritage, this makes perfect sense as a logical evolution.

You're probably right but the iPhone as he said was "a big inspiration" for the way the interior would look, no mention of the F-22 Raptor.
I do agree that it is a logical step up.

I'll be happy if they have this nod to KITTS heritage.
