Speed Racer? Anyone?

If anyone knows what Speed Racer originally was then i'd be happy for you to enlighten me. But until the the Wachowski brothers have come up with the movie version and the trailer's now doing it's rounds. Looks very, um, i dunno, colourful?!

Can't make up my mind at all, i presume it's being faithful to the original cartoon but i never really watched that or know anything about it so i have no basis of comparison...

Speed racer WAS cool.
In fact, I used to have a Go Speed Racer GO! t-shirt.
and I loved it so much that it feel apart.
I have VERY mixed feelings about the live action movie thou...
It's like someone making a live action Transformers...oh wait..
a live action Thundercats...oh..
bollox. Or..a live action AKIRA. nooo...they're not! Oh yes they are.
Why can't cartoons just STAY cartoons?
Huh?

looking at the video the speed raceers car looks remarkably similar to mandarks car
