You two are late, this is previously started as a war, and the war is over for a long time ago, mind to not start this war again and leave this page, please?


So i've heard bout some desginer , who works with GTA IV and Vadim M with some people from game magazine ,can ask some questions about that game.
On his page, Vadim decided to select a few questions from the fans about GTA IV. I decided to ask about chavos, stratum and ingot - whether these cars were random japanese cars or based on specific cars? What kind of cars should I ask? Rebla?

This is still going?

The car is already listed as a Stagea but I still made this anyway, Yes I know I used the GTAV Car but they are still the same.

I don't see where the Passat argument comes from honestly, I know the Ingot is not a performance car by any standards but if it was designed as a 'Generic Japanese car' kind of works? Reminds me a little of the Crown too.

So.. Imagine it more as a Nissan Primera with a Stagea body.

I agree that the roofline/body of the Ingot has been taken from a Passat (although it's an earlier model than the one discussed above), but the front facia is taken from a VW Polo, and the rear is a BMW 5-Series. This fits in with it being a German estate, probably a Passat.

I just love the fact that people evidently turn a blind eye on this, Liberty City, which is based off of New York City, which is in the United States. The Nissan Stagea wasn't made for the US market. The developers were aiming for realism when they were developing this game, they wouldn't add European-spec, or Japanese Domestic Market-spec vehicles in a setting that is in the US. And yes, I have seen a WC34 Stagea in real life, as I have relatives owning one back in Japan. I know what it looks like, and Yes, I agree this does have STYLING CUES to the Stagea. And again, to emphasize my point. Have you ever seen a Stagea in the US before? The In-game manufacturer parodies Volkswagen, and Yes, I know, this doesn't prove anything, to the certain people who say that on this site. And, from Wikipedia.

"The Nissan Stagea commonly referred to as the Skyline wagon when the 2.6L twin turbo is fitted, (although it is based on the similar C34 Laurel platform) is a station wagon originally produced by Nissan in 1996 as direct competition for the Subaru Legacy Touring wagon in the Japanese Domestic Market."

Even though, the wagon was made primarily for the JDM market, there were imports to countries that allowed RHD cars. But seriously, even though that this is just a game, would you really see a Stagea on the roads in NYC regardless of circumstances? And regardless of how a Passat that looks like, I ask you, what would you expect to see more in NYC?

I can't be more thorough than this. If this isn't even enough, then might as well just list the car as Made For Game.

I mean seriously, a Passat would appear in New York more realistically than a Stagea would. Trust me, I've been living in NYC for atleast a while now and I've seen quite a few of them. I agree that it DOES have the Stagea taillights and side profile, but really. Despite the in game manufacturer parodying Volkswagen, since evidently according to some people on this site, doesn't prove anything, it's a Passat.

Honestly, besides the in game manufacturer parodying Volkswagen, and to try and end this, it's a Volkswagen Passat, with Stagea styling cues, I mean, Seriously, look at all the other cars in the game, not "every", and when I mean "every" I mean MOST cars in the game are solely based off of one car, like the Chavos, Rebula, Stratum, Sultan, and etc. Because really, R* wanted to aim for realism for this game, and since the Passat's the most likely car to realistically be seen in something like NYC.

its even more simplier! Vulcar is a pun on vulgar language. In common sense (and on wikipedia) this is a language that is considered by some to be strongly impolite or offensive.

Vulgar comes from the old latin word vulgaris which has a completely different meaning: "generic, ordinary or humble" (which could mean a connection to Volkswagen as Volkswagen is generic and ordinary in common sense). But as Rockstar always make jokes on the best friend of men and stuff like that i would say they didnt had the latin meaning in Mind.

btw, the Ingot is a very RARE car or? so maybe it is possible that the ingame car owner has imported this car from japan, so there is only one car in the game (you can clon this car when storing in garage i know, but solely this idea isnt that dumb or?)

Most definitely the rarest car in the game, which is odd, seeing as the player can only sell it for $0, a pun on it's name meaning " piece of scrap metal". This car spawns very rarely in GTA 4 and seems to pretty much non existent in the DLCs.

Hate to re-ignite this debate, but this is clearly a Passat Variant with some Stagea influences. Much like how the Cognoscenti is a Maybach with Bentley influences. Also nobody has provided the correct model for proof: 1993-1996 Passat B4.
