Knight Industries 3000

Love it, hate it, or completely indifferent about it, it makes little difference, NBC will be showing a new Knight Rider movie in February. I, being a child of the 80's, and a lover of tech, absolutely went wild over Knight Rider back when it originally aired. When it became available on iTunes, I bought the first episode, watched it, and realized that quite honestly, sometimes you just can't go home again. Knight Rider was a horrible, horrible show, but back when I only had 3 channels, the nearest video rental place was 25 miles away, and I was an impressionable 12 year old, it looked fantastic.
Well now the powers that be at NBC have decided that since the new Bionic Woman is doing so great, they've decided to do it again with Knight Rider. Only, there's a problem. The last model year for Trans Am was 2002 (so says wikipedia).
So what to do, what to do...
When it comes to cars, the question of which is the best has as many answers as there are people asked. I, however large my doubts about the television show, do think they made a nice choice for the new KITT.

Will the new show suck? Probably.
Will I watch it simply because I like the car? Probably, cuz, I'm a whore that way.
