Meet the new KITT
http://jalopnik.com/cars/knight-ride...ang-333022.php
I dunno, it just looks wrong.
EDIT: KITT's supposed to look futuristic, not retro...

Or how about not Ford.
80's KITT was a Pontiac Trans Am.
KITT from the TV movie "Knight Rider 2000" was a Pontiac Banshee concept car.
Ford Mustang?!

They are likely devoting the majority of their budget to getting a Safari into some A-Team remake. And who can blame them? Pity the foo who pass on A-Team!

It needs to be a trans-am, anything else is just wrong.
I was acutally hoping that the movie would be about government budget cuts to the Kitt program and they end up wiring him into a 1990 Hyundai Excel.

I suppose from a budget perspective it's easier to justify writting off a $25K car every time they use the "Turbo boost" as opposed to using something like a Viper which doesn't have a cheaper cousin.
Or they could do like they did in the movie, and when the police cars that were Chev Berettas blew up; they would suddenly revert into K-cars a millisecond before detonation. (Cheapest.......Special Effects.........EVER!)

If they were gonna go with Ford, at least they could have used a Ford GT or something. You know, something that actually looks sleek and futuristic.

The other guys are on the right track here. I'll keep it North American just to keep it short (although given proper thought, my final choice would not be American):
--Corvette
--Viper
--GT
--Camaro
Man, even a Dodge Magnum would have been cooler than a Mustang.
