So this is going to be a two hour ford commercial?

I've noticed so far a new Edge, Range Rover, Fusion, Mazda3, Volvo S40 and a new Focus.

Hey the Ford Edge is 0.2sec faster 0-60 than a BMW X5 3.0. They said so on the commercial.

24 was so Ford-whoring too... then they switched to Toyota last season.

Yeah... the OLD KITT would have blown it's doors off! This new car isn't much of an upgrade, is it?

I'm enjoying the show so far, for what it is, but I they've had two commercial breaks in 20 minutes! They really should have had someone (Ford being the logical choice) sponsor the first half hour commercial-free.

No super pursuit mode, no care.

This series isn't going to get far.

I hope they didn't forget the laser/radar reflective paint.

It looks like it has some sort of nifty "go fast" mode, anyway.... Too bad it's still not as fast as the OLD KITT :(

I'd rather see Leighton Meester from that sweet show Surface (!) than this chick.

So far, the Val Kilmer KITT doesn't have anywhere near the personality of the William Daniels KITT.

This is why network TV sucks. The network won't pay for the CG and special effects unless they have sponsorship to pay for it. And then it becomes a 2 hour commercial. This sucks.

Oh, and the new KITT lacks old KITT's witty humor and humanity.

edit: /me switches back to "Castaway" on TBS, nothing else on...

I think that Knight Rider 2008 is proof that Top Gear USA could never happen here :(

It's funny how all of the NBC network shows end up at the Montecito casino when they go to Las Vegas :)

omfg commercial again... torrents ftw.

This is probably only 43 mins runtime like a regular 1-hr show.
