I like it when things work like this, Lots of people making images, and actually explaining themselves. its nice.

I could never identify the landstalker myself, I had no idea it was listed as such on this site. I personally would like to say it does not look like a Freelander in any way? I had the misfortune of buying one of those once :/ so maybe I have a bias on the fact I cant stand to see it :P

The comparisons with the jeep do work in some ways but its also.. Not quite there too, I personally always imagined it being something Japanese, But never could find something to fit the shape.

The rear end bugs me, Looks like a cross between and old Discovery and a Montero or something..

But still... Jeep is closer than Freelander

Edit:
Also I would just like to say, Using wiki to find out about game cars is a really bad idea, Check out the GTA2 wiki page if you want some eye rolling fun.

When I posted that picture back 2016 December, I didn't thought that it's going to be another long argument. I thought that some people are going to agree with me, and then it gets changed to a Jeep.
But I was wrong...
A lot of people suggested other vehicles, some of which look completely different or would be impossible to find in the USA.
Other people just simply said that it's not a JGC.
So let's pretend that the last 30 comments on the page does not exist.

I'm trying to prove for the last time, that it's a second generation Jeep Grand Cherokee:

As you can see, the Grand Cherokee has quite distinctive wheels arches, and the Landstalker has almost the same ones. And none of the vehicles mentioned on the page has similar wheel arches (maybe except the Trooper). And the front bumper is clearly from the JGC.
The shape of the grille is the same, but the grille itself different - most likely it was changed because the Jeep grille is a trademark, and Rockstar wanted to avoid a lawsuit. All of the Jeeps in the GTA series has different grille - just look at the Mesa Grande, the Seminole and the Crusader.
And about the spare tire - none of the cars in GTA series are 100% accurate. For example, the Tahoma in GTA San Andreas is obviously based on a Chevy Monte Carlo, despite the fact that the Monte Carlo wasn't available in 4 door form. And as K20lover199 said, the rear might be actually from the Freelander. And why it can't be a Grand Cherokee/Freelander mix?
And now, please look at the script:
gtamodding.ru/wiki/Kenji#kenji2
If you scroll down, you find these lines:

// creates car5 the 4X4

CREATE_CAR CAR_LANDSTALKER 200.7 -1006.2 25.1 car_to_steal5_km2

This is actually from the beta version of mission 'Grand Theft Auto'. In the beta it was called 'Gone In 30 Seconds' and the player also had to steal a Banshee and a Landstalker, while in the final version the player has to steal only an Infernus, a Cheetah and a Stinger.
As you can see the script calls the Landstalker 4X4 -please take a look at this:
www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=1052 -it's a Jeep Wrangler.
And it was a Jeep Wagoneer/Chevy S-10 Blazer mix in VC, SA and VCS.
And finally, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was far more popular in the USA than any of the SUVs mentioned on the page. For example, in 1999 ca. 300000 JGCs were sold. While, in 1997 ca. 60000, in 1998 ca. 100000, and 1999 ca. 120000 Honda CR-Vs were sold. More JGC were sold in one year, than CR-Vs in three years!
So, even if the Landstalker isn't 100% Jeep Grand Cherokee (only about 70%), it's still a much better match than the Ford Escape or anything else.

But they left in the game the Honda wheels and some real life businesses, such as Joe's Pizza :lol:

But back on topic, I changed my mind, the overall shape is quite similar to the Vector.
And sometimes even Rockstar isn't sure about the real life counterparts of the cars, for example the Ingot is called Swedish, but mostly it's based on a Stagea. And in some cases, the manufacturer names are messed up: Karin Kuruma instead of Maibatsu or Karin Sultan instead of Emperor.

I disagree:
The CR-V has a smaller grille, and none of the vehicles mentioned above on the page has the same front bumper and wheel arches as the Grand Cherokee/Landstalker.
But I agree with the second part of your sentence, the rear might be from the Freelander.


Whatever, I still think it's a CR-V with Freelander headlight and rear. Whatever this car becomes identified to next is going to be incorrect anyways, because the Ford Escape and second gen GC don't have spare tires on the back. Besides, this ain't worth my time anyways, the car is too tippy and hard to drive, it didn't become decent until GTA 4.

Also, who am I to judge? Half the unlicensed cars on this site are identified wrong anyways.

I'm done with this discussion.

Oh, so now it's listed as Made For Game... fantastic.

Okay, so I'm trying to prove that it's based on a Jeep:
Most cars in the GTA 3 are based on common and well-known vehicles. There's only one SUV in the game, so it's most likely based on something popular. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was one of the most common SUVs in the late 90's US, so the Landstalker is more likely based on it instead of some rare Japanese SUV.
Why would it be based on a Freelander, which wasn't available in the US when the game was released?
Or the Escape, which was a far less common vehicle?


There are only minimal differences.

And the name of the Infernus is obviously a reference to the Diablo:
Diablo=devil (Spanish)
Inferno=hell (Latin)

You're oversimplifying things. Round and rounded are two different things, just like Spanish and Latin are different languages.

You should probably know these comparison pictures are very subjective. It all depends on which lines you decide to draw.
The Infernus is very round, like the Vector. The Diablo is very square.

Here's the comparison of the Vector and the Diablo:

The rear is quite generic but the shape is much closer to the Diablo than the Vector.
The Vector has different shaped door.
The windows shape is definitely from the Diablo.
The Vector has air intakes on the sides, while the Diablo and the Infernus has not.
The cockpit is positioned further forward on the Vector.
So, as I said earlier, only the front bumper, the headlights and the spoiler is from the Vector, almost everything else is from the Diablo.

And about the Infernus: the sides, the shape of the windows and the rear is definitely from a Diablo.
And furthermore, only 14 Vector M12s were built - so it's unlikely that the person who modeled the Infernus, decided to base it on an almost unknown, extremely rare sports car.

Vectors were actually quite popular in 90s Arcade Racing Games, so you'd be wrong to say they are unknown.

So it's definitely not a Sportage.


Just because it didn't sell well doesn't mean that it is not that car. It's not a GC or an Escape. Those are too big and don't have spare tires. I think it's a Freelander/CR-V, but it could also be similar cars listed below.

1997-2001 Honda CR-V
2002 Land Rover Freelander
1993-2002 Kia Sportage
1999-2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara/Chevrolet Tracker

I'm not going to force anybody into thinking that it's one of these cars above. If many people agree it should be a GC then change it as you please.

Have fun editing it wrong :)

The game takes place in October 2001, so it could be a 2002 model year in 2001. Either that or it could be first gen Honda CRV because of the spare tire.

Edit: What about a 1995-2002 Kia Sportage?

About the Infernus, the beta version was a Lamborghini Diablo and the final version is a Vector M12.

Then, there's the rear tailgate, license plate, and spare tire...which all actually match the Japanese market (JDM) version, the Hilux Surf.


This? A 4runner? HA!

This is too big be a 4runner, and the Hilux Surf wasn't sold in the States nor legal to import to America.
