We should really be giving this the same treatment as Vice City's Infernus. In that game, a Countach was heavily modified to the point where it's almost unrecognisable, and yet we still list it as Countach because that's clearly what inspired it.

This Infernus is also fairly unique-looking. It does not resemble a Vector in anything more than a superficial sense, yet we know for a fact that it was inspired by the Diablo and some details still point that way.

I don't know why some people seem to be under the impression that insider or developer information is invalid when identifying a car on this site. I can think of several examples lately where that sort of thing has been very helpful to moderators. If anything, it's the most reliable source of information out there.

You make me remember a video that i watch about Vice City in the beginning of project, the game should have licensed cars but was abandoned to keep again in unlicensed cars. Infernus in one of beta Vice City promo images appear with a design very similar to 1985 Countach.

We don't take that sort of thing into account, it's about how it's presented in the game not in the files.

Don't care about old name in the files and beta models anymore, the rear still from Diablo more than Vector.

Superficial things like the rear design doesn't matter. There are alot of entries on the site where the car has a distinct shape in the front or rear but the rest of the car looks like a different vehicle.

In any case the overall car doesn't look like a Diablo. In the beta it might of but that is beta content and most likely was a concept that never made it into the final game. That sort of thing is irrelevant.

It may be, but only the sides along with the front of the car are customized and unrecognizable parts, the rear still has the visible silhouette of Diablo, as Mathias mentioned, in the game's scripts it is still called "Diablo". Even with the changes made from the alpha version to the final version, there are still more features of Diablo than Vector.

No amount of comparisons is going to convince me this is a Diablo. It's not what you think it is. Remember that Rockstar/DMA Design took some liberties because simply copying the design of the Diablo would cause potential lawsuits.

It's a Vector, end of.

That is pretty well known. For instance it was a plot point in an episode of NCIS (from like 2006) where a witness saw a "kuruma" at the crime scene which the team ID's as a Chrysler Sebring sedan.

Actually, you do have a point there. Some Army trucks may have been used as civil service after the wartime era. But not all of them have, though.

What I don't understand is why this and the Barracks OL have convertible tops - it looks ridiculous.

I think it's based on speculation. I mean, some people debate on whether the Taxi/Police Car was based on either the Ford Crown Victoria or the Chevrolet Caprice. (I think they look like the former, given the front)

As for the Landstalker, I think it looks like an early 2000's Mitsubishi Montero. If anything, I think the VC/SA Landstalker has more in common with a Jeep model than III. Whereas LCS through V, look more like a Ford Expedition.

But I digress.

And you shouldn't be talking down on other people, especially since most have agreed it's a weirdly-modeled Jeep GC. Personally, you really need to calm down, and think before you start shooting off a comment that can get you banned. Be respectful to other members.... Why is this difficult to understand? :/

Considering the back windows (and the fact that it was featured in the manual as the Maibatsu Monstrocity), I'm assuming it was based on the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero, but with the front end of a Jeep.
