Now here's a GPS system I'd actually consider buying.
The Knight Rider GPS from Mio features the voice of KITT, newly recorded by original series actor William Daniels, and addresses you by your first name (from a list of hundreds of pre-programmed names -- not currently including Bonnie or Devon, unfortunately.) Two rows of red LEDs on either side -- designed to look like KITT's nose -- undulate as the GPS speaks directions and/or nervously chides your reckless behavior.
The Knight Rider GPS retails for $269.95 and comes out in August. All you need now is a "Turbo Boost" button kit, some chest-hair mousse, and a German fan club.

Not sure how many of these have been ordered already, but I'm guessing the true badasses out there are probably holding out for the model based on KITT's evil twin (and coolest TV vehicle ever), KARR:
So, any takers out there ready to release their inner 'Hoffs? If not, what voice would YOU most want to hear in a GPS?

If only, while in traffic,the GPS would blurt out randomly (and loudly) "Don't hassle the Hoff!"
I want the voice of Mother from the Nostromo in Alien.
I love the Hoff, pre him going batshit on his daughter.
