Mio's Knight Rider GPS Test Drive Video

Benny Goldman — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:00:00 EDT

I got a sneak peek at Mio's new Knight Rider GPS, and it's more fun and cheesy than I expected. As you can see in the video, William Daniels, the original voice of KITT, guides you as you cruise the streets, fighting crime. Flashing red LEDs are synced up to the speech, and the screen marks your location with a Pontiac Trans Am icon. My favorite part is that is has 300 names built-in when you're done pretending that you're Michael Knight and you want KITT to call you by your real moniker. It'll be $270—a bit less than we thought—when it's out in August. [Knight Rider GPS]

The New Knight Rider KITT?

Jalopnik reports on this fark-job, where a Koenigsegg CCX plays the role of the new Knight Industries 2000 in the upcoming film. Of course, that doesn't help us in our Hasselhoff role-playing, since the he 4.7L, twin-supercharged, 806hp car costs $650,000. Instead of selling the house to play in a KITT-car, you could always hit up the KITT Replica Foundation to DIY.–Brian Lam

Europe Unleashes Crazy Frog On US

I'm quite appreciative of the European influence on American culture. There's nothing I like better than putting on my beret, heading down to the English pub downtown for a Guinness and some corn dog nuggets (which I believe are Swedish) before watching Das Boot, or any of the totally awesome TV shows they've exported to us like Big Brother, The Weakest Link, Whose Line Is It Anyway (yay Wayne Brady!) or that ballroom dancing thing. Seriously, Europe is cool by me, even Andorra.

That said, you guys can keep the Crazy Frog, instead of having it released on these shores August 23. Look, I know we sort of unleashed David Hasselhoff on Germany, and for that I'm sorry. But this just isn't cool. — CL
