Detourists with an unhealthy nostalgia for the '80s will soon be able to live out their Hasselhoff fantasies (no, not those fantasies) thanks to the GPS gadget developer Mio Technology.
Apparently, Mio has recently bought out Knight Industries, as they will soon be releasing their Knight Rider-inspired GPS unit in an apparent attempt to capture the direction-sense-challenged dork market.
Not only does the new navigation unit feature a black Trans Am as the locator icon and greet you by saying, "Hello, Michael. Where would you like to go today?" and come with red lights reminiscent of KITT's Anamorphic Equalizer, but it speaks using the original voice of KITT himself, William Daniels.
There's no definite release date yet, but sources have it the unit will retail for about $300.
Let's just hope it plays the awesome theme music, too.
Update: Gizmodo has revealed that Mio's KITT-themed GPS unit will be out in August at a price of $270.
They've also posted a video demonstrating the unit. One of the best features? You don't have to settle for being called Michael; it includes a list of 300 preprogrammed names to choose from.
