Sorry for deleting your comment 17m.al-tamimi, there was a mistake. But to answer your question, those School Bus pics were from a mod, despite that vehicle was cut from the game

Interestingly, the name Kuruma comes from the Japanese which literally means car.


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.

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.

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.

And actually, the Freelander isn't so similar to the Landstalker:


www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=127 - how will you explain this? You said "why would they add a British SUV to a game, which is set in the USA?", but Land Rover is also a British car and it appeared on GTA San Andreas, which also takes place in USA.

I still don't understand how this is supposed to be a Ford Ranger "Splash." It doesn't even have the corny 90's graphics. :??:

The ONLY reason why this is a Ranger Splash is because it's entirely similar to one. The Ranger itself, like the Bobcat in GTA III is a small pickup in the States. For the Dodge Ram, it's more mid-sized. The Bobcat is not mid-sized.

Also, Vice City, San Andreas and VCS models are directly based on the '83 Ranger (a pretty good replica I must say).


Can you explain what do you mean by "entirely similar"? Which part of the Bobcat looks like the Ranger?
Apart from the grille, I just can't see any similarity.

Yes, it's a Ranger in VC, but that doesn't prove anything, since some of the cars' design were completely changed between the two games (Stinger, Banshee, Landstalker).

I don't want to start another war, but could someone explain to me why is this pickup a Ford Ranger?

Because honestly, I still think it's more similar to the Ram.
Here's how I see it:
Comparison 1
Comparison 2
- the front bumper matches the Ram - the Ranger's bumper is more angular
- the shape of the hood is more similar to the Ram - the Ranger's hood is flat
- the shape of the wheel arches matches the Ram - the Ranger's are rounded
- the Ranger Splash has a step on the sides behind the cab - the Bobcat hasn't

If I'm wrong, can you explain which part of the Bobcat looks like the Ranger?

BTW, I used the fixed Bobcat model from the Leftovers Fix mod in the screenshots.

I still think it's a Ram. I made a morphing animation between the Bobcat and the Ram, maybe it changes your mind:
3dthis.com/player.htm?h=NzQ2NTk4

The grille is different, but I think it's justified, since the Dodge crosshair grille is trademarked. Furthermore, none of the Dodge-based cars has the crosshair grille in the GTA series - just look at the Willard (SA), the Sindacco Argento, the Buffalo (HD Era), the Youga, the Gresley or the Bison.
The headlights are bigger than the Ram's, but the shape of the indicator lights are the same.
Apart from these, I don't think there's too much difference.

I have recently replayed GTA III and I think the Bobcat isn't a Ford Ranger - In my opinion it's rather a Dodge Ram.
For comparison:
Dodge Ram
Ford Ranger
And it might be just a coincidence, but it's also named after an animal.
Does anyone agree or disagree?

Who removed the previous statment? It is a Ford Escape/Maverick!

Even if it wasn´t as popular as the JGC in the US is far more similar!
Firstly is the compact size the Maverick has, Jeep Grand Cherokee is more masive in size! Then there´s the spare wheel, then the rear lights...

No, the beta name was Ariant (Aries + Reliant).

It's almost impossible to tell which car is it, because the Manana is probably the least detailed vehicle in the game.

On IMCDB they are listed as Aries by default:

this truck is a pretty big mixture of things, front end looks kinda like an Isuzu Hombre and a 93-97 Ford Ranger, but the taillights are what looks to be inspired by the 96-03 Ford F-150 Stepside Bed Taillights and the overall shape of the truck is somewhat reminiscent of late 90s-early 2000s Toyotas
