Isn't that the problem with any remake? I will give it a chance when it comes out.
I'm not saying I won't give it a chance. the plot still sounds intriguing, though not as good as the original IMO. Though i dont understand why David is making a Michael Knight cameo, even though it seems completely unrelated to the original. Maybe the mustang is a new shell developed for Kitt by a foundation scientist? who knows. certainly its worthy of taking a look.
As for the red light, when i say it wouldnt look right, i mean it wouldnt look right on the mustang... its far too angular and hard looking for something like that. Indeed, neither the atrocity that was 2010, nor TKR had the red light on their cars (though to be fair to TKR, they included a '99 Mustang Cobra which would have been ok, an F-150, a Ford Expedition SUV and 2 motorcycles - not to mention KRO, the F-355 which would have looked kick ass with the red light... or some representation of it. lets not forget, Karr was kitts twin, but had a gold light...). Nor did the Knight 4000 from Knight Rider 2000 (which reunited the original cast, except Bonnie and April and also featured Mitch Pileggi and Sam Carter's father from Stargate), until Michael installed Kitt's CPU into it. Which would also have looked cool had the car not been candy apple red too... (and i dont mean Michael's 57 Chevy Bel Air. That was blue.)
TBH, the best bet would have been to go back to Knight Rider 2000 and continue from there, as it is so far the only spin off to do well ratings wise.
