For the time yes, but if I bought a car tomorrow and it had Kitt's sass I would cut his speakers in a week.

I don't need my car to constantly whine, needle, harass, demean, and insult me.

Had the same thing happen when standalone GPS units were introduced to the mass market, I got one - and one of my tech friends suggested replacing the stock voice with a sarcastic/whiny one (maybe ... C3PO)...

My response was: "you obviously haven't used one yet"...

They were already bossy enough... 'MAKE A LEGAL U-TURN NOW!'"
