I found it really funny that the "new and improved" Knight Industries
car didn't measure up to the original. The old KITT would come running
to meet Michael, rather than leaving him to creep across a dangerous
property filled with hostile gunman as the new car did last night.
There's also the issue of this car not being bulletproof when the
computer is down. KITT was bullet-proof, dent-proof, and pretty much
everything-proof with or without the computer. I'll confess to being
old-school and biased, but KITT's still the best car... period.
