VIDEO: Engadget gets to play with Mio Knight Rider GPS, Autoblog jealous
Click above to view the video posted after the jump.
Okay, Mio's Knight Rider GPS unit is now officially "hella" cool. Engadget snagged some video of the startup sequence, and we're overcome by nostalgia for 1984. We're not excited to the point where we've gone digging for vintage Le Tigre polos or pulled that zombie leather jacket (the Thriller replica, natch) out of deep closet storage, but seeing that sweeping light bar and watching the flanking LEDs twinkle to the dulcet tones of William Daniels brings back sunny memories for those of us that lived it the first time around. Even cooler is that there's a bank of 300 names to choose from, so odds are good that KITT will greet you personally – that closes the sale right there, we officially want one.

You naysayers are wrong. This is amazingly cool. And the whole name thing does make this a purchase for me. I was looking to get a GPS anyway.
