Jaguar XJ6

sloping hood and trunk remind of a Jaguar Xj6 maybe?

Why is the Falconer Taxi "Yellowcar" listed as a Chevrolet Special then? The Studebaker looks bigger and more "upscale" than this thing.

Looks more like a Chevrolet to me. Hood sides have the same louvers as a '32, but the bumpers are more like a '31.

Windshield and straight light bar are more like the Stude though.

The car's side texture is modified from a photo of a '94-96 Mustang...the rest of it is completely fictional.

Nissan Silvia?? Ok, first of all, what year of Nissan Silvia looks even remotely similar to that? Secondly, I doubt your average american game maker in 1994 (when the game was in development) would've even heard of a Nissan Silvia.
Thirdly, the only cars that are clearly based on ANYTHING real are Yellow Jacket, Crimson Fury, Thumper, Wart Hog and Spectre.

Now, all of that aside... If I were going to suggest Road Kill was based on anything at all, and even this is a bit of a stretch, I'd say a '76 or '77 Pontiac Lemans coupe. The roof shape is pretty much identical..and it has vaguely similar tail lights in shape, But even then I'd say it's probably just a coincidence.



(Also, Fun fact: Road Kill's skin is just Spectre's...edited. Their layouts are identical. As are their wheelbases, fender well shapes, and windshields.)

Cadillac Seville

I think 440mopar is correct in every detail he has listed. But if we have to choose a car, i think it has the spirit of a Cadillac Seville.


But that doesn't really make much sense does it? It's seville because you say it has the spirit of one, even though you agree not a single body panel looks like one? To be honest I'm not sure what I'd call it either, since it's a mix of 3 cars. Maybe the Pontiac since the front and rear are GM G bodies, and you see the back end most of the time. All I know it's really nothing like a Seville at all.

Cadillac Seville

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
I don't think it's a Seville at all. The body lines and quarter window look EXACTLY like a Lincoln MkVII made into a four door.



The grill is from a 82-83 Chevy Malibu



and the taillights are from a 81/82 Pontiac Lemans or 83-86 Bonneville

agree, '39 Chevy.

Not a F-350. 150/250/350 wasn't used until the late 70's. Can't really see the grill but it looks like an earlier truck. So it would be F-300. However, hubcaps and stance indicate this is not a 1-ton truck, so it would be a Ford F-100 or F-200 at the most. Stop labeling all ford trucks a generic "f350"
Ford F-1

MotorStorm (2006)
It looks mostly like a ford yes, but they didn't use the F150/250/350 designations until the late 70's. The body of this truck looks mostly like an early 50's ford, so it would actually be a Ford F-1.
Dodge Charger

MotorStorm (2006)
more like a '69
GMC General

Twisted Metal (1995)
I think it looks more like an International Transtar, but the fact is it's just a generic made for game truck.

Chevrolet Impala

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
The problem with trying to ID cars in many video games is that many times they are just too generic. Or sometimes a mix of 2 or more cars, then what do you call it? What the front looks like or the back? The thing is if your knowledgeable enough about cars, you'll probably come up with something that fits the design more or less, but it's unlikely that it's what the game designers had in mind when they did the artwork in my opinion.

For example, Skid's pic above of the Rambler's grill does indeed look more like the voodoo's because of the indents in the upper and lower parts of the grill, but being a low rider type car, it's much more likely it's an altered or made up version of the '64 Chevy grill. The roofline is similar as well, though I posted a 'vert.

Chevrolet S-10

Blue Force (1993)
It doesn't really look like anything real. More like a early 90's concept vehicle with the big wheels and short over hang. It's just another another made for game car.
Plymouth Belvedere

Blue Force (1993)
Right but the "fury" script on the quarter only appeared on '57's (I think). I agree it's a Belvedere though. I only said Fury because 99% people only know these cars because of Christine...

Badly drawn 58 Plymouth Belvedere or Fury.
Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
How can you fools sit there and say this is a Chevelle. Enlighten me and tell me what on this car looks like a Chevelle? Because really I'd like to know. I'm going to make this as clear as I can. This car is quite clearly based on a 1970 Olds Cutlass or 442 if you want to call it that. There is debating the back..just look at it for christ sakes! It's exactly the same! Now for the front I say it's more like a 70 Buick GS/Skylark than the olds, mostly because there is no split in the grill, it isn't exact, but certain;y closer than a Chevelle (a '70 I assume you people think it is??) but usually in video games it never is. One thing on the hood is the 2 scoop openings which ARE like a '70 Cutlass though which I circled. There..Case closed.


Dodge Charger

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
The basic body and rear end is like a Charger yes, but the front is CLEARLY '69 GTO/LeMans. As was said above, IMPOINTE is the GTA IV version of Pontiac, and as you can see it's even in the same font as Pontiac.

Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
It's a modified '70 Olds Cutlass! The back is just like one. And front is more like a Buick GSNo way is it a Chevelle.



Cadillac Seville

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
The front is '82 Malibu, the back is Pontiac Bonneville/Parisienne and the body is Lincoln Mk VII. No if's and's or but's.
Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
Again, this is a mix of few cars, the front end is very much like a Dodge 600. The roof is Monte Carlo and the tail lights are from a Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2.
Chevrolet Impala

Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)
It is a mix of a couple of different cars. The back end I would say is more like a '60 Chevy than a '59, though they have similar batwing fins, the 60's round taillights look more like the Voodoo's. The front end and roof are more like a '64 Chevy Impala/Bel-Air. The car looks weird because it's much wider than it should be, and the bumpers are too big.
