- CptBuck, on 06/05/2008, -3/+68and the reason why this article couldn't have had a side by side comparison of the cars?
- bkjester, on 06/05/2008, -1/+22Damn, no love for the Feltzer? Love that convertible Mercedes.
- SerifTheRobot, on 06/05/2008, -0/+19A lot of these were pretty off. The Sultan is obviously a Legacy mixed with IS300.
The Infernus is a Murcielago/Zonda mix. Just look at that back end. Even the badge.
The Presidente is a pretty generic blend, but favors the Caddy STS and Lexus LS.
The Sabre GT is an Olds 442. - nizzy1115, on 06/05/2008, -1/+13But what is the ice cream truck based on?
- Hawk117, on 06/05/2008, -1/+12I thought the Uranus was a rip on Saturn... Guess I was wrong. Interesting read.
- bman85, on 06/05/2008, -0/+11death traps.. all of em.
- Spuy767, on 06/05/2008, -1/+11While I doubt very seriously that the banshee was based on the Panoz Esparante, the rest of the list is pretty spot in. I'd wager the banshee is a combination of a shelby cobra and a viper, more crude than a viper with no less power and that to me screams the original shelby.
- Sairynn, on 06/05/2008, -0/+8Rape?
- mentallyinhell, on 06/05/2008, -2/+10Always a pleasure to smash the ***** out of that prius looking thing. Just get in a patriot and t-bone it.
- brennerh, on 06/05/2008, -3/+11The Coquette is obviously a Corvette...how could they miss this??
- Procure, on 06/05/2008, -0/+7No Sentinel? Very closely related to an E46 (2001-2006) BMW M3... Its a great car in-game and in real-life.
- Atomic05, on 06/05/2008, -0/+6They didn't.
"And the Corvette reference, both in name and appearance, is unmistakable." - crapuccino, on 06/05/2008, -5/+11Sultan RS is a Mitubishi Evo.
- freshyill, on 06/05/2008, -0/+6By far my favorite all-around car since Vice City. Not the fastest (although it is very fast), and probably the most well-rounded car in the game when you consider the handling and amount of damage it can take.
I'll always grab a Turismo or Coquette when I find one, but the Blista is rock solid, and practically everywhere. - saunders45, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5It's hidden behind the Old Mansion on the Northeast corner of Alderney Island.
- Conwaysb0718, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5Huh... I always thought the Cavalcade was the Caddy Escalade and Chevy Avalanche mixed and the Sultan I figured was based off a subaru.... guess i was wrong.... again.
- o2sk8, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5No, it's definitely a Subaru nod. Look at the base Sultan. There is an "STD" logo on the wing in the same color and font as the STI logo on the real thing.
- cycledesign, on 06/05/2008, -2/+7I think because most of them aren't based on a single car but an amalgam of several iconic cars and it would get messy without one-on-one pictures.
- SerifTheRobot, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5I disagree. It is a SLK/SL mix.
- drastik21, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4Comet FTW
The Cognoscenti is also a nice 4 door car, it's a rip-off of a Mayback. - endlessoul, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4No offense dude, but this isn't San Andreas. The cars behave realistically.
Learn to drive and you won't have any problems. Brake early, for example. - Spuy767, on 06/05/2008, -1/+5*****, I just realized that this dickbag forgot to mention the Regal and Grand National inspired car in the game. I'm ashamed to think that I ever considered Jalopnik a true car lover's site.
- Evolutuon, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4The Coquette looks Nothing like an NSX.
And the Presidente as a Dodge Charger?? They obviously havent had a run in with the FIB. - drastik21, on 06/05/2008, -0/+4300C = poor mans Bentley, maybe that's why it only gets an average performance in the game.
- Sairynn, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3It might remind you of a Bentley, but it's definitely supposed to be a pimped 300C.
- SpectralSounds, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3They forgot to mention that the rear end of the Infernus is taken from a Pagani Zonda.
- RATM4EVER, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3I think my game is busted. I have never seen the Sultan RS! 24+ hrs. of gameplay and I never take the taxi anywhere!
Is it in a particular area often? - Glitchwerks, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3No, it always had a BMW-ish appearance.
- freshyill, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3I think some things are different for everyone. Until I started the Ray Boccino missions, I never once saw a Sentinel, and I still find them only rarely (usually around Ray's place when I'm not already driving one). My friend, on the other hand, finds them everywhere, even in Broker before he unlocked Algonquin.
I think the Sultan RS is pretty rare, but maybe you have a case like mine. - inactive, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4Your guess is as good as his.
Aside for the coquette and the comet, they all look like a bunch of different cars. And he still managed to affiliate the coquette to something else than a corvette. - geeshock, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3That's what I though though more Mitsi Lancer and Scooby WRX
- Nikonian, on 08/17/2008, -2/+5And the bikes?
- Khanvalescent, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3I always thought it had the looks of the Escort, but was a (very subtle) allusion (in name only) to the Ford Probe as well.
- iEatEmoKidz, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2look harder buddy. i've seen them all.
what has been seen cannot be unseen - Price, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Yep, although I think fire engines are the best since not only will they obliterate every normal car in their path, they also have the water hose of awesomeness. Buses are pretty good as well, easier to find too.
- endlessoul, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Here I am clicking the link for a side-by-side.
I was disappointed.
BUT, if someone were to create a side-by-side of these vehicles, then I'd digg your story. - Sairynn, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Cognoscenti... and yea it's cool.
- IAmTheGuy, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3Dugg for "'blista-ring' statistics." God help me, I love puns.
- toddkay, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Why is this list missing so many of the most obvious ones?
FBI Buffalo is without a doubt a newer Charger, the Dukes an older Charger, the Cognoscenti a Maybach/Flying Spur, the Minivan a Dodge Caravan, the Huntley a Range Rover Sport, and I'm pretty sure the Contender is an '04 SVT Lightning Concept and/or Sport Trac. And of course the already mentioned Sentinel M3 and Feltzer Mercedes. - inactive, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Yeah whoever wrote that article was a fool. The cars are all cut in half and blended toward the middle.
Infernus - Mercielago front Zonda rear
SuperGT - Aston Marton front Ferrari rear (clarkson's wet dream)
Tursimo - Ferrari front Lamborghini rear - caulkrocket, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Completely agreed - I've always enjoyed the mid range cars in the game. Blista Compacts have always handled well and have a decent speed. I grab one whenever I can.
- rwert, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2Yeah, in name alone perhaps. But as the picture shows, it sure doesn't look like one.
- colin8651, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2It is also added to your speed dial from that point on.
- freehunter, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2The writer was searching for the most obscure autos he could find to mix with the more popular ones, probably trying to show how much he knows about cars, that he can name a more obscure car that looks just like the more popular one.
- DubiousDrewski, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2I am very disappointed by the handling of the bikes in the game. The back end is always always swinging out like the tire was flat or something, it's too much. It works for the cars, but the bikes should not handle like that.
- BN2L, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3And the winner is....front is WRX STI, rear is Mitsubishi evo. This game is made by Scots and they love their rallying.
- GiJoeBob, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3Where are the motorcycles and scooters?
- warispeace21, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3I thought the PMP600 was supposed to be a Bentley, but whatever.
- BN2L, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2...behind the garage in some bushes.
