Ok...I can certainly understand them not wanting to use the original car as it's too outdated...an early 80's Firebird just wouldn't look right but really...why couldn't they have stuck with GM and used a newer Firebird? Why does everything always need to be changed so much?
I keep waiting for them to remake Magnum PI and have Magnum played by someone like Jim Carrey or some other "comedy" a-hole and instead of the Ferarri, his car could be a Mitsubishi or something...
