It appears on demo released for PSX and a lot of pre-release screenshots. A replay with original Buick GSX can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvID3VcotJw Beware of ugly Tanner's beta face during loading screen... Also notice the beta police car. Yeah... I said that they might have changed it. I didn't say it never existed, it just wasn't supposed to be Tanner's main car. because first off, 491 GSX's came in Saturn Yellow for 1970. If your driving a yellow and black Buick in the Miami area, they will spot you pretty damn easy. That probably means the GSX was supposed to be the Superfly car...which is the blue car with black stripes. i.imgur.com/zq1d97x.png And ha, it looks like Tanner was mugged by Claude in an alleyway. booooooo -- Last edit: 2020-06-21 06:18:52 (Klumb3r)
Hakari 2016-04-05 18:19	Razor440 wrote Ah...you people are funny guys. The GSX was never supposed to be the main car because Tanner was supposed to be an undercover wheelman. GSX's are pretty rare to come by and you might be a easy target if your sporting a bright yellow and black paintjob. The Superfly car at one point must have been a GSX but Reflections probably changed it not because of copyright issues, but because the GSX and the Skylark probaby looked too similar in terms of what type of car it was.

Razor440 2016-04-04 21:40	Ah...you people are funny guys. The PS1 version has the front of a 1972 Buick Skylark (tweaked a little to be a little creative) and the rear of a 1972 Chevrolet Malibu Chevelle. However, they changed it in the PC version to the overall resemblance of a 1972 Buick Skylark. The GSX was never supposed to be the main car because Tanner was supposed to be an undercover wheelman.

I NEED NAWZZZ 2013-01-18 19:45	I thought the PS1 version ended up resembling a 1973 - 1977 Chevy Malibu rather than a Skylark. I don't have a keen eye for the older U.S. cars though, so I'm probably wrong.

J-2 2007-11-26 21:45	Main car, and Miami car for PSX.

lastinpurple 2007-11-06 16:35	You can check it by yourself. If you have the game installed go to GT Interactive folder, then /Driver/Scripts/Missions and then open mission1.dms with the note pad, and scroll down a bit and you will see a line saying: PlayerCarType 0 //Skylark -- Last edit: 2007-11-06 16:37:39
Star Wars Fanatic 2007-11-06 15:56	It's a GSX, I remember reading that the original yellow model above was too close to the actual GSX.
lastinpurple 2007-11-06 15:51	at the in game files, this car's name is "Skylark" so, Buick Skylark
Star Wars Fanatic 2006-09-17 18:40	How this car appeared in videos before the game was released: This model was then restored in the sequel, Driver 2. -- Last edit: 2007-02-20 19:27:11
