On the other hand, as much as i like the original TA, i would be PISSED
if it was a 20some year old car. I agree with Ed in the fact that it
should be a modern car. Something sporty. Domestic? Well yes
preferred, maybe the new Corvette. Maybe something different entirely.
As you said, Glen saw the new TA and liked it. Sounds like a
fairly...whats the word...impulsive choice.
One thing i did like about KITT was the flip lights. Few (if any that i
can recall) cars nowadays have those lights on them.
Personally? I want it to be a slightly futuristic looking car. KITT had
a custom nose and parts for one, making it not look QUITE like a TA, more
like a TA envisioned 5-10 years future from the show (yeah didnt look
like that in 10 years, but just trying to give a point of view). The
Koenigg (sp) is ok, its sporty. I don't personally like it, but it could
work (its a mock up fake anyways, so its a moot point).
Just needs to be something fitting. 1983 TA is not fitting anymore.
Just like we are all sure that David won't be Michael (hes just too OLD)
KITT won't be an old TA (ditto).
