I agree with Hand. Canon-wise it is the same ship as in the Original Series.

I like it, very sleek. I admit, I would've made the deflector dish orange-reddish as a nod to the golden one... but that's personal taste, sort of (and because I'm a bit bored of that blue light = sci-fi convention).
But I dig it a lot, very nice ship.
Cheers, LT.

You mean the Kirk who couldn't figure out how to get out of reverse in A Piece of the Action?

Yeah. That's my single biggest gripe with the trailer, which I otherwise rather liked.
The series made it very clear that Kirk (and Spock) had zero experience with automobiles. It may be a fanboy nitpick--I used to be a huge Trekkie, and I admit I still have a lot of the knowledge and the OCD that went with it
--but still, it's irritating.

Yes because there's no one in our world who can drive, but can't drive a stickshift right?
I give Abrams credit for guts, but I fear this movie will get drowned by nerds expecting him to honor every one-off line in every trek episode in every line of this movie's dialogue.
On the trek boards, people are flipping out over Uhura ordering a Cardassian sunrise.
Seriously, there are like 6 different batman shows on TV and in theaters right now. None of them agree, but they're all batman.
Worst movie ever. I will see it only three times. Today. /comic book guy
Can't trek fans be happy through one damn trailer that we're getting a trek movie at all?

A) They clearly weren't familiar with cars at all in the scene.
B) The car shown in the trailer was a classic Corvette--which, given the years they were available, would've had a stick shift.
And please don't try to argue "Well, it could've been a reproduction, with an automatic." Yes, it could. But I think we both know that the scene was there because JJ Abrams wasn't familiar with the episode A Piece of the Action, and not for any other reason.
Is that an unforgivable sin? No. As I said, I liked the bulk of the trailer. But it is a break from ST canon, and it's one that bugged the "canon-Trek-Geek" part of me. No more, no less.
