Watch KITT every Wednesday in the fall
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/04/02/watch-kitt-every-wednesday-in-the-fall/'; After getting the news that the new Knight Rider was getting its own weekly show yesterday, we were keeping an eye on Variety, NBC and others to to see if the show would get a good slot in the Peacock’s schedule. Well, it didn’t get the best one, but Wednesdays at 8/7c is not too shabby either. Improvement in sight NBC has hired an experienced showrunner for the series, Gary... Read More

digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/03/21/fast-and-furious-4-starring-hyundai-genesis-and-nissan-gt-r/'; While a few weeks ago we were not that surprised nor excited about the first car confirmed to appear into the upcoming Fast and Furious 4 (the Subaru Impreza STI), today we learned something that did both: the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the Nissan GT-R ARE in!

The future Impreza from Fast and Furious 4 (2009)
Before we start, one note about the title: we don’t know it yet, but someone on Imdb proposed the title 4 the Fast, 4 the Furious and we like it here. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker will return as Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner in 2009, and Exhaust Note released pictures of what it supposed to be Brian’s ride. As you can see it’s in the works, but it gives a pretty good idea of the car. A little overdone for our taste, but the trade mark of the franchise... Read More
