knight rider online

A new Chevrolet commercial has a car-carrier trailer driving around the city picking up all the new cars in the Chevy line-up. Each car drives up the moving ramp, KITT-like, until the last vehicle which BACKS up the moving ramp. The editing is a little too quick for my tastes, but I like the idea.

I have two versions of the commercial, depending on how fast your connection is:

EDIT: I was trying to figure out what the backwards, ugly yellow car was and found out you can see the commercials at http://www.chevrolet.com Much better quality. The hideous yellow car is an SSR. Yuck.

I like the SSR.

I saw that commercial today. I was going to post it on the site. Guess you beat me to it.

dont dis the ssr. its awesome. not to mention an ondemand convertable. sw33t!

yo vchat20 nobody was dissing the ssr and the quote was made by KIFT.

Yo TurbomanKnight... Actually, I DID dis the SSR. The exact word I used was "Yuck". I just don't like it. And the Knight Rider 2000 quote was in fact made by KITT, while he was installed in the Chevy.

I have to agree with Mike (heavens to mergatroid!) in fact, the exact word he used, was the exact word that I blurted out when I first saw the commercial in reference to the SSR.

It's not aesthetically pleasing to at least a few people around here.

Should we protest?

sure why not

I saw the commercial last night I was lol (not kidding)

That movie does not load in my QuickTime player. It says the decompressor could not be found. I told it to continue, but it did not play when I clicked the Play button. It just said that the program has generated an error and will be closed. I am using QuickTime 3.0. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You are several versions behind... QuickTime is up to 6.5. Download a new player here:

That should get it up and running.

Thanks.... I just found this version in an Iron Maiden CD I bought in 2000! No wonder it's causing problems!

In this commercial, whenever the ramp is laid down, there's that sparking effect, which is absent in the Knight Rider series, when the Mobile Unit lays down its ramps. Any idea why?

The Corvette's entry was the best part. From between the buildings, the red car rushes out and gets past a few obstacles and into the top tier of the truck. The Aveo's part was not so impressive, the Colorado (?) and Maxx had a good part as well, but that SSR was annoying- looks like I'm not alone. The background music is quite good and so is the caption.

Knight Rider's semi actually had tiny wheels at the end of the ramp so it could glide on the road without the sparks.

The semi ramp did sometimes make sparks if you ever see KITT going out at night.

I think Mike is just jealous that he can't perform that maneuver j/k Mike

IMO the SSR is okay. It has grown on me since I've frist saw it a few years back.

Hey, at least it isn't as ugly as the Aztek.
