They need to use this guy for the KR movie:

Ok so he probably can't act but he sure as hell resembles MK and can easily pass for his son and it would make sense plot wise...imo a perfect choice to continue the KR mission.

I might be totally off my rocker but I seem to remember KARR mentioning his paint job and how he wanted to differentiate himself from KITT so he got the guy to have him painted, we never see the change but I thought he mentioned it and had it done for him. I'm going by memory here of the original ai...

Haha so true, especial MK's cackle/girly scream as they were flying out of there, I mean I'd be happy too, to be able to make it out, I just don't think I would make a sound like that.

My probelm with the statement (not with you) is that Pontiac never said that, it may have been posted here as such but it never happened and hasn't happened since.

Not taking it personally at all, but can you cite these facts? Where's the Pontiac press release, the return of a nameplate as known as Firebird/Trans Am would warrant a PR. How did you come to the conclusion that the T/A is in a redesign? You're basing you're facts on a magazine?

What is that supposed to mean? The Trans Am was phased out because it didn't adhere to '03 safety standards (GM knew this in 96) and the cost would be prohibitive to redesign the platform for 2 models that sold relatively little that's the reality. You've got your facts mixed up as they've never eve...

What a performance magazine says and what GM officially states are two entirely different things. Mags say that the next Camaro will likely utilize the sigma platform and be RWD and V8, GM on the other hand doesn't even say that there will ever be another Camaro. Bob Lutz himself jokingly said that ...

They took it off the line because they have been trying to phase it out for some time, and have made mention that they are redesigning it to adhere to the newer safety standards. That isn't true at all, GM has never made mention officially or off the record that they are redesigning the Trans Am to...

They weren't subtle enough, as a kid watching it originally I could tell they were using miniatures, way too obvious even for someone like me who as 6 at the time.

While we're discussing Pontiac, does anyone remember or know what their original (aka 2 year ago) plan was for the F-body?

A li'l FYI

Vin Diesel will be driving the new GTO in the sequel to XXX, with that in mind it seems very unlikely to be used again in a KR movie.

And I honestly hope they won't be using a four dour family grocery getter (GTP Bonneville) for a future KITT.

Break down his response and you'll see that he never said whether or not the car was good for KR. Your earlier response was ideal "Cute but missing the long lines of KITT, bam, there's an opinion. An opinion doesn't have to coincide with mine to be valid. He on the other hand said, you know it'...

His opinion was a non one as it was based on the Ford Mustang Cobra emblem the car apparently had. Read it again he says that his opinion is that it's a Hyundai Tiburon. ????
