hmm I have to disagree with you and the others, seems like most agreed with you lol.Lost Knight wrote:The G6 is better looking than the Chevy Cobalt, and that's not saying much. No way should that ever be K.I.T.T.!
Well we disagree about the available cars being bland. To my eye the Pontiac G5 and G6 are both great! It's one thing to go with a foreign made product if Made in USA is not available, but there are still lots of cars Made in USA, and I want to support the USA economy, since I'm an American and a patriot.Lost Knight wrote:This obsession with only being U.S.A.-made is like a filter leaving very few bland selections left, even if they fit into the set criteria.
hmm they didn't use the "sleek, aerodynamic, futuristic look" requirement.Besides, NBC Universal used that criteria for their search (among other reasons) and we ended up with a Mustang.
Those openings fed air into the LS1!spyhunter wrote:I wasn't objecting to the powerplant, I was objecting to the horrid facia redesign, it was beginning to get as ugly as a mustang.

But most people can't afford to send their kids to go to college right now, anyway, lol. That's why most people need to take out loans or rely on scholarships because the country is designed to keep the average person poor and in debt. Once most people graduate, they're stuck paying their loans off. But that's a whole different debate, so let's just stick to Knight Rider here.seeker78 wrote:If there are no blue collar jobs in the USA, no one will be able to afford to go to college or send their kids to college, and then what are we left with? No blue collar jobs and no white collar jobs. If there are no jobs, there is no economic base, and therefore no ability to produce military hardware with which to defend the country, eventually the USA will be a protectorate state of China or Saudi Arabia, de facto if not de juris.
Well it's not the end for Canada, Australia, Japan or whichever other country is chosen, but it does detract from the USA economy, and therefore from national security, since people supposedly will want to buy a car that is featured in the movie. Remember how people wanted to buy Pontiac Trans Ams when Knight Rider was on in the 80s? So why encourage foreign made vehicles since we're Americans (or I am anyway) and it's an American story. But personally I just don't get why a lot of you don't like the Pontiac G5, it has all the right features: the grille is small, it has the rear spoiler/wing, it is swept back and aerodynamic. So what's the problem? It's not called "Trans Am"? American cars are available, I say go with American.Lost Knight wrote: Anyway, the whole supporting the U.S. economy is great and admirable, but it's not the end of the world if an American car isn't chosen.
oh no, I agree, the Mustang is a superior choice to any car made in Canada even if GM is the company making it in Canada.Besides, you should be happy that a Mustang was chosen. How much more American can we get?
