I did my search, and found nothing about this.
<rant>
Here is an article to check out. Its the basis of my entire rant and hatred of the entire world right now.

If youre as lazy as me, then you wont click the link and read it. Basically, it says theyre bringing back Knight Rider!
Any child of the 80s (maybe even the early 90s) will be fuckin pumped as all hell, till you see 2 things. Who does the voice of K.I.T.T. (not the Knight Industries Two Thousand, but the Knight Industries Three Thousand. See what they did there? They added 1000 to the original, to keep the original name and yet still seem futuristic) and what kind of car K.I.T.T. is. That is to say, fucking Val Kilmer plays K.I.T.T. Yep, thats right, fucking Val Kilmer. They WERE gonna use the original guy, but hes done a couple GM commercials, and thats a huge conflict of interest, because of my second point.
K.I.T.T. is a fucking Ford Mustang! Not the badass Trans Am of the original. Now, if fuckin GM would have gotten off their asses, they could have used a Camaro, which is closer to a Trans Am than a Mustang is, AND they could have kept the original voice. It would have actually worked. Oh yeah, and David Hasselhoff reprises his old role of Michael Knight to hand off the keys to the new guy, who was on some fucking soap opera.
Now, for those that actually remember the Knight Rider 2000 tv movie that came out in like 1991 (thats right, I remember the new model red Camaro that the original K.I.T.T. was put into, because his original body was disassembled, and they needed a new hero, and the girl who was nearly killed, and a part of K.I.T.T. in her head therefore making her a cyborg with little personality, but I think she died so all was right with the franchise), and actually waited 9 years for 2000 to roll around, got side tracked by y2k, forgot about it, and THEN were reminded of that tv movie when they found a TV show (abortion) on WPIX or WB or whatever the fuck channel 11 was called back then, called Team Knight Rider.
Ok, maybe that abortion was in 1997, but you still got all psyched after seeing it on the TV Guide channel when you were bored one Saturday afternoon, and then watched it, and realized you could have spent that half hour to continue watching the TV Guide channel to find something better on TV to watch, because lets face it, without that Guide that we all now have, wed be fucking lost, and we didnt have that back in the day, so the TV Guide channel was the shit for all us. But you still had hope that Knight Rider would come back and kick more ass, at least you hoped, until you could get your hands on a DVD box set, and actually learn what a DVD was in the first place.
You always knew there would be a medium created, just to hold the awesomeness of Knight Rider, MacGyver (yes its MAC not fucking MC you assholes) and a few seasons of each of the Star Trek franchise shows, at least the original, and The Next Generation, only so you wouldnt have to try to back up which captain was the best, which we all know is Kirk, meanwhile Picard only had the Picard Tuck, and its not as gay as it sounds, its just a shirt adjustment.
But I digress, the whole point of this, is to get word out that Val Kilmer has to reduce his acting abilities to that of the voice of the best car in the world, which has no made it to the worse car in the world, cause its not a fuckin Trans AM, but a fucking Mustang. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE T-TOPS GONNA BE IN A MUSTANG!!!!!11!
Thank you NBC, instead of one day buying an early 80s model Trans Am, and paying the $60 some odd grand it would cost to have the interior converted to replicate K.I.T.T., Im gonna be stuck seeing a bunch of these tuner assholes with Mustangs rolling around with a fucking aftermarket Shelby hood, with 2 fucking tracer lights in the hood scoop trying to look kewl. I hope those assholes completely cover the purposeful intake scoop for their Shelbys, and they all fucking throw a rod, cause their car didnt get enough air to keep cool.
Im actually gonna rent a fuckin Trans Am, and drive it to the lot for this new Knight Rider, and fucking drive it right up K.I.T.T.s ass, just to show them they cant fuck with the original. Learn from Team Knight Rider you assholes!

As far as I remember Hitler asked the guy who owned Porsche at the time to come up with the Beetle. I could be wrong but I know that it's a complete Nazi-wagon.
==========
Wasnt the owner of VW named Porsche? Unless theyre the same company just different names. For some reason when I looked up VW and the holocaust, the name Porsche came up.
===============
I should have been more clear and less retarded. A guy called Ferdinand Porsche created the Volkswagen brand but had an office in the 'Porsche Buro' with other car dudes like Audi, Daimler and Mercedes. Basically, all German cars have origins or involvement within Nazi Germany.
==========
Ah, that explains it then.
I remember a friend of mine was getting a new car. I told her to get a VW, and rattled off a few other German car companies. She looked at me like I just ate her uterus. It took a while for me to find out that just about all German made cars made ovens an shit, an then put together that she was a Jew.
Jew killers or not, they make a damned good car.
------------------------
It makes as much sense as Americans buying cars made by Mitsubishi (in WW2 they made motors for the japanese Zero airplanes).

At the end of the day, the majority of countries have a terrible human rights record / skeletons in closets, it's just a question of who gets remembered and who doesn't. However it has to be said that a lot of the companies in Germany around the time of Hitler had been there long before he came into power and were merely taken over by his regime; IBM is one of the best examples.

I thought it was Siemens who made most of the gas chambers?
==========
I was actually wrong. After actually taking the time to look it up, they just used like 15000 slave jews to build the cars, and a few rumors went around that Hitler designed the Beetle.
I would have totally used the Beetle anyway, with like black racing stripes, and when it transformed, the armor with the racing stripes would form, if looked at a certain direction, a swastika. Then I would have put that on the DVD Extras.
Im such a marketing genius.

As a Mustang owner, I consider this whole Knight Rider/KITT remake thing a stain on the Mustang good name.

Making KITT a Mustang is like making the A-Team drive around in a Ford Focus instead of their van.
It also would be like having a Bullitt remake with a Camaro.
Personally, I thought bumblebee not being a VW was kind of lame. Sure, it was cool to have the old/new Camaro transition scene... But still, why Bumblebee? Could have been Hot Rod.
Sheesh. Next thing you know, Hollywood will remake the Honeymooners with a black Ralph Kramden.
==========
I actually heard that VW wouldnt let their car be in a violent movie like Transformers.
Funny, though, considering back in the late 30s and early 40s they made very very large ovens with problematic gas leaks.

Who gives a flying fuck? That show was gay back then and this one will be gay too. Meh. I never watch television unless I'm in the office and they're watching some shit they want me to see.
I do watch movies though. Good ones only.
I saw a movie called "Off the black" the other day, with Nick Nolte, and it was fucking really goddamn good.
==========
You take that back right now goddamnit! Knight Rider kicked so much ass. It was second only to MacGyver and Small Wonder, who tie for first place.

You never know, it might kick ass. I doubt it though.
Val Kilmer is a badass.
