* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The concept of having a bunch of different cool customized vehicles, compared to just one, fighting crime in live-action (as opposed to animation, like ''WesternAnimation/SwatKats'', or Supermarionation, like ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'') ''does'' sound fairly cool. But it was botched badly by not having many cool functions, and the whole show was just a dud.

** KRO was supposed to be a Ferrari F355, but it was actually portrayed by a Pontiac Fiero modified to resemble one. The results were hit-or-miss at best.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The main reason the series was considered a failure on many levels (and failed to draw much public interest) was removing/departing from many aspects the original series had, such as:
** Departure from the "One man can make a difference" premise, since it was now an entire team, each member with their own AI-equipped car.
** Use of Ford, rather than Pontiac, for the team's vehicles. (Though Ford made an extremely generous offer to the producers, KITT's Pontiac Firebird Trans Am "body" left a lasting impression on many fans of the original series, which made them rabid Pontiac fans.)

** Lack of spectacular "feature of the week" abilities (probably due to budget constraints).
