Thanks, more important is the bit about ITV. They have always shown a keen interest in Knight Rider. This includes TKR and KR:2000 so theres a good chance they'll take the plunge after all the press interest.

The articles were implying that Turbo boost will probably not feature in the new Pilot or series.
Seriously, WTF! Knight Rider without Turbo Boost is like Transformers without them transforming.

When I first heard about the shapeshifting feature, I immediately knew it was going to take the place of Turbo Boost. NBC Universal is trying to implement the failed ideas they used in
Viper and apply it to their more successful franchise,
Knight Rider, which they know already has a much larger built-in audience. As has been pointed out here already, even the font for the new show is the same as
Viper's. And that makes me wonder if perhaps that was an intentional subliminal message by NBCU.

The lack of turbo boost (IF true) does concern me. I do not understand how a decision could be made not to include it. Too expensive? Then get rid of one of the characters so you don't have to pay the actor's salary. Seriously, I think it's that important.
The glimmer of hope of course is that if it does become a series they can always just throw it in later: "Hey KITT, what does this new button do?"
Voila. Everyone is happy again.

In the original series Bonnie and April constantly added new functions to KITT, I wonder if the same continue in the new show if it will become a tv-series and who'd be KITT's new cybernetic technician, Sarah (Deanna)?
