Knight Rider last night
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/18/knight-rider-last-night/'; NBC aired its two-hour movie “event” last night and of course we were in front of the TV. While we were pleasantly surprised by the show -which was better than we expected- it could have been much better. There’s been tons of reactions on the Internet, both by websites and their users, and they tend to be either very sour (like Autoblog and its “liveblog” (and most of... Read More

digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/12/turn-your-smart-into-eleanor/'; Not too long ago we spotted a replica of Eleanor, the car from the remake of Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) and we told you all about it in a previous article. When looking for reference pictures, we came across the creations of Thalon Design, a design and prototyping studio based in Stockholm.

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

digg_url = \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/01/30/team-knight-rider-1997/\\\\\\'\\\\\\\\\; To be fully prepared when the ‘08 Knight Rider pilot comes on, we thought you guys should know about some of the previous attempts to bring the show back.

One of their guys, Jay Lamm, went up to San Francisco with a 2008 Bullitt Mustang to recreate the chase, and tells you all about it, with maps, pictures and witty words. “In... Read More

2008 Knight Rider: new video with the Hoff!
The Knight Rider Online has posted a new video, from E!, the entertainment/people show of NBC, the network which will air the Knight Rider pilot on February 17th. “This ain’t your daddy’s Trans Am”?, come on… The commentator was reaaally inspired, declaring “This ain’t your daddy’s Trans Am”, which was a bit tactless, specially considering the amount of fans who are still much in love with the first KITT, or even upset about...
