I doubt that this car is a Cressida.
The taillights are completely different - while other cars in this game are quite accurate.

I think it's rather a '86 Olds Delta 88 Royale:

The Swift Sport has different engine, wheels, grille, bodykit, headlights, taillights and a spoiler.

I think "Sport" should be the part of the name, because it's a separate vehicle, not a trim level of the normal Swift.
On IMCDB it's the part of the name:

And according to a comment, it's a 2013+ model, because it's a five door model.

Sorry, I have gone too far.
I didn't want a debate with anyone.
I deleted most of my comments on the page.

But you can't ignore the fact that the Landstalker is listed as Jeep Grand Cherokee on the German, French, Portugalian and Russian GTA Wikias.
And it was listed earlier as a JGC on the English GTA Wikia. And it seems that it was changed accidentally.
And GrandTheftWiki, which is more accurate than GTA Wikia, also calls it a JGC.

I noticed that both the Burrito and the Speedo is listed as a '03 Chevy Express - so one of them is listed wrong. I think the Speedo more closely resembles the Express, so this one should be changed.
My guess is a '95 GMC Safari. Does anyone agree?

Hello everyone!
I know that I'm quite annoying at this point, and some people are going to disagree with me anyway, but I still didn't gave up.

I created a poll on GTAForums about the Landstalker, but only two people voted: one vote for the Freelander, and someone else said that it's based on the 1999-2001 Ford Explorer - but I think that we all can agree, that it's not the latter one.

So here's another (and I really hope the last) comparison picture:


Red - GC
Yellow - Freelander
Orange - It could be both
Green - ?

As you can see, this time I used the XBOX model, which is has higher quality textures: it has metallic grille, similarly to the GC's Laredo trim, and the headlights are more closely resembles the GC's.
The shape of the rear windows on the side are could be from several vehicles. Maybe a Toyota RAV4?
The spare tire, the position of the license plate and the taillights are most likely from the Freelander.
But as someone said on the GTAForums page I mentioned above: "It all probably just flowed from his (Paul Kurowski, the vehicle designer) mind." - So maybe some parts of the SUV aren't based on any real vehicle.

And I realized that the Landstalker also has a spare tire on the back in VC and VCS, despite the fact, that the Jeep Wagoneer didn't have a spare tire. But they're listed as Wagoneer - and no one has a problem with it.
So, what is different in this case?
Why is this Landstalker can't be listed as a Grand Cherokee with a spare tire?

And changing the Landstalker on the VC and VCS page is to unknown is certainly not the correct solution.

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.

Well the reason why they changed it is because of a potential lawsuit.


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.

This it the last time I post on the Infernus page, but...
-the script calls it Diablo
-the name is a reference to the Diablo
-at least 50% of the car is based in the Diablo (rear, sides and window shape)
-the Diablo is a well-known sports car, while the Vector isn't so famous
-only 14 production model Vector M12s were built, so it's highly unlikely to be found on a city street
-with the exception of GTA San Andreas, it was based on Lambo in every GTA game
So, the developers certainly wanted the Infernus to be based on a Lamborghini Diablo.

I wasn't saying that the WHOLE car is a Freelander. The front and sides are a CR-V and the back and headlights are from a Freelander.


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.

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.

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.

The Landstalker is not a Ford Escape, but a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ). I made a quick comparison:

Except the grille, the spare tire and some other details, it's almost identical.
And don't forget, that it was based on a Jeep Wagoneer in VC, SA, and VCS.

The same pickup (except the glitched headlight) is listed as a '93 Ford Ranger on the LCS page. I tried to edit this one earlier today, but it was rejected. I think this is one of the problems with the site.
For example the Toyota Camry in Max Payne 3 was listed as a Renault Encore in GTA V, despite they are identical.
Or, one of the Hotring Racers was listed as a Pontiac Grand Prix in GTA San Andreas and IV, but as a Chevy Camaro in Vice City, despite it's the exactly same car.
I think people should pay more attention when adding or editing vehicles.

By the way, I tried to add the links of the vehicles mentioned above to this comment, but I couldn't post it for some reason.
