Check out this preview for the knew Knight Rider flick. About 20 seconds in you see two people on 1125Rs. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/28/video-kitt-morp hing-into-f-150-fx4/ |

Cool bike, not so cool car. The Lumina from Saudi Arabia would be the perfect car. At least it would be GM like the old car. Check out the Lumina at http://http://www.chevroletarabia.com/content_data /LAAM/ME/en/GBPME/001/G1/1L/1L_wallpapers.html?cnt ryCd=SA |

How about keep it in the Pontiac family with a new GTO? I think the new 'Stang makes a pretty mean looking K.I.T.T. though, much better than the original with the black Krylon painted hubcaps. The only thing scary about the original K.I.T.T. was wondering if parts would fall off of it when it sped past. |

I can't believe Dodge didn't at least try to get the new Challenger involved with the show somehow |

With all the computer morphing they should bring back Streethawk. Have it change from a CR (with Uly height suspension and seat) to an 1125R for high speed. Wonder if Norman Tuttle can work with the Buell Engineering team? Would be good exposure to draw interest and sales. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCItnKrXvMM Or maybe a return to CHips? With the Uly cop edition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAidnO64NE4&feature=related (Message edited by Oddball on July 28, 2008) |

The new GTO was discontinued (in the USA). This new Knight Rider show is mostly a commercial to sell cars. Can't exactly sell a discontinued car. Hopefully the 1125R appearance(s) will help to sell a few Buells. The next Transformer movie was supposed to use a Buell XB12R; hopefully that will still happen. Might help sell more Buells. Also, as much as I love the new Challenger, and Dodge in general, with lead times being what they are I doubt they had a chance. And I'm sure it came down to money. Ford probably had a bigger budget for this type of thing. Or maybe, as difficult as it is to fathom, the new directors just like Ford better. (Message edited by Chameleon on July 29, 2008) |

There is a huge difference between "race" parts and "performance" parts. |
