why has VK tried to sound like William Daniels in the new 'shapeshifting' advert....???
especially as the new car is meant to have a new CPU (or is it...???)

Simple, that's not Val Kilmer, his voice isn't apparently going to be in any of the commercials. But, as I correctly guessed last night, his voice is featured on the Jay's Garage video. Though I'm sure it'll sound different in the final product.

I was wondering why he was listed on the archive as being a cast member. It sounds like a joke to me. Is there a thread about this Garage Video with links?

Okay, it's not a joke.
And if that voice on that preview is his . . I'm shocked. It's not bad.
It sounds a lot like KARR though. Not that I mind, but it's odd.

I too thought it sounded like K.A.R.R. but I don't think it's anything I couldn't get used to.

.... It's not Kilmer's voice, that was completed before he came on board, there are however now a couple clips that do feature his voice. Check the second and fifth clip here:

Well now we'll know what we will miss.
I think the Kilmer voice could use a little more mechanical sound in the voice, but I don't think it will irritate me.
It's just really weird having a movie star that I've heard of doing the voice.

I agree, hopefully when they're done mixing it will sound a little mechanical, though hopefully not KARR like. Shame we don't still live in the age where someone would do a role uncredited and the studio wouldn't go out and say who did it. Leave a bit of mystery, though these days that's nearly impossible. Then again I'm sure it wasn't that big a secret that William Daniels was the voice of KITT to people who watched St. Elsewhere.
