Kitt is a Ford Mustang?

With the new Knight Rider TV Movie on its way I am getting a little itchy for that snappy banter between the Hoff and his smartass TransAm but then I felt a disturbance in the force.

IWatchSTuff says:

KITT may no longer be a Pontiac Trans Am. According to someone working on the Knight Rider effects team (adding a red light to the front of a car), the new vehicle will be a Ford Mustang.

Now I am not a purist when it comes to TV translations to film, and Transformers proved to me that you can keep the original magic and awe without sticking to the same brand of car, but I am hesitant to really buy into the Stang as Kitt. Are they going to keep Kitt’s eloquent voice and dry wit?

I can live without the Hoff playing Knight, but having his character’s SON be the candidate for the next Kitt car is a bit unnecessary. They could have pulled any old sharp looking boytoy treat of the week to play Kitt’s sidekick. But I was jonesing to see an updated TransAm sporting the waving red Cylon eye.

Can you deal with Kitt as a Stang? Does it matter?
