Ford is in a panic aleady from there stock falling to junk statis. I can't stand the globalization of the auto industry. It is ,I believe, this that has the corner stones of the industry crumbling. And the powers that be cashing in on Toyota, Honda and others. I for one don't want to buy a Japenese car to support an American worker. You know Toyota assembles camrys in the country their being sold in. What paradigm shifted so that Rick Waggoner CEO of GM can't do the same. Each manufacturer needs to stay in their own playground. Well, I'm going to get off my soap box now.

The second year, will be the trial by fire when the novelty wears off, and all the people who saw the original and found it's just some lame Mustang.
Branding and loyalty only goes so far, and Ford has pushed that limit by instead of putting some GT's in to be Kitt, they put in a production Mustang in hopes of selling them.
This kind of thing doesn't work twice. Knight Rider was popular because it was new, the car looked futuristic and like it could kick ass. Now we have a show with a retro Mustang instead of the Ford GT which does look like a car of the future.
Two years, maybe three if Ford pressures the studio to get their investment back. They could have just freaking thought this out, instead of how much money Ford was going to give them. The cash they make from a show that lasts 10 years dwarfs anything they could get now. This whole thing is based on greed and short sighted business models. They deserver to tank.

@CEman: One day countdown. Then the day after posts. Then the speculative posts about sequels or a series.

By the way I sat in a Mustang today at the auto show. There's nothing significant about this I just thought it would would be fun to mention.

However.. I will admit to getting something of a boner the other day when I pulled out of my garage in downtown LA to see half the street closed for a shoot, and some sinister looking Ford with red nostrils parked right across the street...

]]> <![CDATA[Knight Rider Rides Again On The Today Show, Now With Added Hasselhoff]]> There should be live "Knight Rider Watch" post while the show is on so we can all make fun of the show live and start a drinking game for everytime we see a Focus/Sync ad during the commercial breaks.

"Our writer, Dave blahblah, was amazing and found the ONE loophole in the original series, which is that they never said who actually invented KITT."

Really? That's the only one?
