Knight Rider? Poor KITT to be thrown into that. Doesn't look good at all.

Re: 2008 Trans Am picture

Ya, I'm trying ot figure what it's based on... almost looks NSX-ish....

Maybe it's just a total custom job in the movie or something...???

Hmmm...

I wonder if The Hasselhoff will be driving again? I think I remember hearing he's suppost to be like Devin in the movie to a new driver taking his place or something.

That looks like a chop of a Koenigsegg CCX.

I like the ad though, too bad there wont be a new TA.

Thanks for making me feel "not so old" today.

I agree with you!!!

Did you see Zena (Lucy Lawless) on the Sing with a Celebrity show this summer... OMG.

I'd like to see Farah Fawcett spread out on the hood of a 2009 Cobra too while we are dreaming.

I saw her on something or other not too long ago... I didn't even recognize her to be honest... had to do the double-take when they said her name, but she looked pretty nice!

Another good chance to use an American car (02 WS6), and the ****ing blew it.

Can you really blame them for not using a 4-5 year old car that didn't sell worth a damn when new?? Give me a break, it sucks but GM blew it by having no new 2006-2007 TransAm for them to use, not the other way around.

Re: 2008 Trans Am picture

But that car just doesn't fit. It's supposed to look somewhat like a normal car and blend in. It's already been confirmed by Weinstein Co that this is the car (CCX), the WS6 was just an example, I could give quite a few better choices. The car is the key, and they ****ed up, this movie will probably suck.

Re: 2008 Trans Am picture

I think they should have used a black Z06.... they could have even put the little red swoosher light thingee where the air scoop is.
