My thoughts exactly. Maybe Ford will swap them for a Premium model.

I liked the character "Danno", thought he was well written. Don't Hawaiians wear seat belts, though?

 

Oh no!

Steve McGarret drives a cumaro!

Sounded like a V6...

 

Looks like a V6 too, it doesn't have the V8 hood.

 

V8 hood? Isn't the standard hood the same? I can tell a 'regular' GT from a V6 by the 5.0 badge, the GT on the faux gas cap and the fogs... otherwise, they sure look the same to me. What am I missing??

 

I think he was talking about the camaro

 

Yes, was talking about the cumaro that Steve-o drives.

Figures that a character like that stick-up-the-butt one should drive that pig.

The original Steve McGarret was a lot more cool than the new one.

 

I just saw Chevy's all over the place... GM must have gotten into that bailout money and invested it in product placement within "Hawaii Five-O"

 

The only car commercials shown during the show were for chebby's, maybe they are sponsoring it now.

I miss the giant Mercury Marauder that Steve drove on the old show.

 

I think chevy is paying for the show,

 

Totally agree 1000%. I used to watch the original show in its day & I think it's better. It's almost like CSI Miami is a closer match to the style of the old show (not saying Horatio is as 'cool' as McGarrett, but his is a strong character). My beef with the new 5.0 is the cinematography just seems so dark, like they're using some kind of odd lens filter. I get none of the bright/sunny feeling with the new 5-0 that the old 5-0 had, or even CSI Miami has.

 

I guess you could say they're looking at the old show... *puts on sunglasses* ... through tinted glass.

 

There was red Mustang on show last night with 4 hot girls in the Mustang.

 

Yeah but Danno was driving the cumaro and we haven't seen his GT since the first episode.

 

What? Let Ford get free marketing? Psh, we'll just make that Chevy paid marketing, just to get rid of the 5.0.

 

I do believe GM is one of the sponsors of the show. Been noticing the GM product placement. Have seen 2 identical silver Camaros in their lot, a bunch of "Honolulu Police Department" cars, a black flipped-over Ford SUV, and I think the big Merc hiding under a car cover. Was wondering why the heck Danno was driving a Camaro.
About time that they covered the "Honolulu Police Department" signs on the building - even though the real main police station is only a block away. Also have to laugh at how easily they can get around on Oahu and not hit traffic - psh, yeah right! And the show's local sponsor is - the local Aloha Hyundai/Kia dealer!!!

 

The first episode had Danno driving a Mustang GT and the second episode had McGarrett driving the Camaro. In episode three I was asking why is Danno driving McGarrett's car? Is the Camaro supposed to be police issue, and not McGarrett's personal car?

 

I just watch the third show and they get worst every week. Danno talks back to Steve all the time, in the original show Steve would have shot him. He was a no nonsense type of guy and the new Steve just does not have it.

The premise of the show is different this time around.

Steve is not the head of the state police like in the old show. This time he is a special investigator under the direction of the govenor and Danny is his police liason, not his subordinate.

 

The quality of each show has been going downhill in my opinion. I enjoyed the 1st episode but at this point if it got canceled I wouldn't miss it.

 

There is only one Jack Lord, but I still enjoy the show. While it's a shame there isn't more of a mustang presence, at least there are using American Muscle cars and for that I thank them.

I really think Ford dropped the ball not getting product placement for Hawaii 5freakin'0. Then again, they did produce the greatest pony car of all time, so there is that!
