The cars - which is which?

So the Blista Compact must be a Honda Crx. Also in Vice City.

Anyone have a list of what real car each one is modeled on?

Funnily enough i was thinking of making a thread like this:D

Damn I cant think of the ingame names... but I LOVE the BMW M3 and Merc AMG copies. Oh yeah and the Ferrari 360/F430 copy. Beautiful.

I love how so many of the cars are total copys.My favorites are the chrysler 300c(or whatever its called in the game), and the huntley sport, those 26" alloys look ridiiculous!!!!

It would be cool to be able to get a patch/mod that made the real names of the cars come up.

Off the top of my head, Schafter is a BMW M3, PMP600 is a Chrysler 300c, Coquette is obviously a Chevrolet Corvette, Banshee is (as always) a Dodge Viper. Someone already said the Range Rover lookalike, obviously the Patriot is a Hummvee...pretty sure the Sentinel is a Merc S500...if not there is definitely a Merc S500, just not sure of the in-game name.

More when I think of them...

The bmw 760i lookalike is also class IMO.Yet to see the f430 lookalike mentioned by sum1 else...The feltzer is also a brilliant copy, clearly an amg Merc SL of some sort.Theyve kept many of the names from hte others makin them easy to recognise.Brilliant stuff....

Toyota corolla AE86 is called Futo, very good copy of the real one.

Isnt there one thats really like a range rover? I cant thinkof the name off habd but when I saw it I though they had gotten rights to use real cars.

skelliser · 03-05-2008 4:14pm

are you thinking of the suv that looks like a escalade?

also i like the name of the moped, faggio!!!

Wertz · 03-05-2008 7:34pm

Hmm, just playing there now and noticed that there are two different versions of the M3, sentinel for the older model, schafter for the new one. So the S500 must be some other model...
The escalade lookalike is the cavalcade....I was in something called a lokus that looked like a Lexus GS300, but could have been the 7 series someone mentioned above.
Saw the porsche 911 clone but don't know the name of it...probably hasn't changed from what it was in VC, and if that stays true to form the ferrari 430 will be a Stinger.

Just got the game a while ago and only played it a bit. I cant remember the GTA names but I saw a Range Rover Sport, Ferrari F430, Aston Martin DB9 and Bentley Continental Flying Spur, the AM and Bentley were cheats though.
