I copied the list and added a a few cars, named a few cars, and moved some stuff around. Everything I changed is bolded
 
I know the Lincoln Towncar is basically the same as the Crown Vic but I think the Police Cruiser is based on the Ford, not the Lincoln.

Also, you've got the DF8-90 in the sports cars section, isn't it a 4dr sedan? In profile it's very like a Dodge Intrepid, or whatever the Chrysler version of that car is.

you are completely right, It's not the first time I've confused the two names even though the cars are different in several ways :)

I left the DF8-90 where Danny had put it originally at least for now since it is quite sporty, it almost looks like a Holden or some similar budget super sedan.
 
These are the cars it reminds me of...both Dodge Intrepids, just an older and a slightly newer one.

I think all of the motorcycles are generic for the most part. The Zombie and Freeway could probably be considered Harley's of some sort but the Zombie has different gas tanks so you really can't pin it to one model. The Minivan is also closer to a Chrysler Town & Country (no crosshair grille), though its just badge engineering.

The Banshee is also available in convertible, so you can remove the Coupe part.
 
Is there a site that has pics of all the game's cars (not the topic at GTAForums; I'm talking decent shots)? I don't yet have a PS3 myself, and am dying to see what all this game has.

I know you have the Sultan listed as an Altezza/Evo 5, but how about the Sultan RS? It's a 2 door coupe. Here's a vid.

I have 2 saved at my Alderny Safehouse. Also, there are 2 versions of the Futo, one FWD, and the other RWD, the Futo GT.

I think the doors are just sheet metal or welded or something like that on the RS because its supposed to be a tuner with the full roll cage and stuff.
 
I think your missing the Intruder from your sedans list.

Lexus LS maybe?

Also the Uranus has some Ford Sierra/Merkur XR4Ti looks at the front. That whaletail on the Lozspeed version has to be from the Sierra Cosworth too.

And the Ingot looks a lot more like a Nissan Stagea than a Legacy.

The vehicle list on IGN gets more and more exhaustive : http://grandtheftauto.ign.com/wiki/GTA_IV_Vehicles
I didn't compare it with ours though.

Nevermind, I found a good site with pics and info for all the cars (it even says what they think they're based on).

While IGN's wiki list is very nice indeed, and features pics of most of all the cars, I think the author(s)/editor(s) may need to double check their facts and figures:


There were around 50 vehicles in Grand Theft Auto III, 100 in GTA: Vice City and 200 in GTA: San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto IV has an even greater amount of vehicles

Not only are they a little off on the vehicle counts, but their own list of all the vehicles in GTA4 comes out to 123 vehicles:
  • 53 Cars
  • 18 Vans, SUVs, & Light Trucks
  • 33 Commercial Vehicles
  • 7 Motorcycles
  • 8 Boats
  • 4 Helicopters
Now I'm no math genius, but last I checked, 123 < ~200. :odd:

I can understand the mistake... if it wasn't for the simple fact that it's their own list! :eek:
 
The cars aren't perfect representations of real life. It certainly appears to have design cues from the Mustang.
 
drive train can't tell you 100% one way or the other, for example in GTA SA you could get an NSX with the engine in the front and 4 wheel drive, as well as a 4 wheel drive F-40, and many cars in GTA4 have a 5 speed transmission where in real life they would be a 4 speed...
 
Which car is it that has the brake light going all accross the back?

cause i think that one looks like a Nissan maxima from the back.
 
I found a coupe today with louvred rear window WRX style bonnet scoop and rear spoiler and a 'STD' logo on the rear spolier in the same font as Subaru's STi logo. Looks like a Sultan RS, but it isn't. What's that then?
 
That would be a Sentinel. Although it's dressed up a bit. I'm not sure if its any faster.
