Why would it be based on a Freelander, which wasn't available in the US when the game was released?


Aren't the devs from UK?

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.

Around 75% of modern Spanish is derived from Latin - Wikipedia

I believe French, Portuguese, Italian and English are also largely based on Latin. Your point?

And the name of the Infernus is obviously a reference to the Diablo:
Diablo=devil (Spanish)
Inferno=hell (Latin)

You're oversimplifying things. Round and rounded are two different things, just like Spanish and Latin are different languages.

You should probably know these comparison pictures are very subjective. It all depends on which lines you decide to draw.
The Infernus is very round, like the Vector. The Diablo is very square.

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.

And about the Infernus: the sides, the shape of the windows and the rear is definitely from a Diablo.
And furthermore, only 14 Vector M12s were built - so it's unlikely that the person who modeled the Infernus, decided to base it on an almost unknown, extremely rare sports car.

Vectors were actually quite popular in 90s Arcade Racing Games, so you'd be wrong to say they are unknown.

"This first-generation model (1993–2002) sold in low numbers even domestically in South Korea" -Wikipedia
So it's definitely not a Sportage.


Just because it didn't sell well doesn't mean that it is not that car. It's not a GC or an Escape. Those are too big and don't have spare tires. I think it's a Freelander/CR-V, but it could also be similar cars listed below.

1997-2001 Honda CR-V
2002 Land Rover Freelander
1993-2002 Kia Sportage
1999-2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara/Chevrolet Tracker

I'm not going to force anybody into thinking that it's one of these cars above. If many people agree it should be a GC then change it as you please.

Have fun editing it wrong :)

It can't be a Freelander, because the first model year was 2002 in the USA.


The game takes place in October 2001, so it could be a 2002 model year in 2001. Either that or it could be first gen Honda CRV because of the spare tire.

Edit: What about a 1995-2002 Kia Sportage?

About the Infernus, the beta version was a Lamborghini Diablo and the final version is a Vector M12.

...the second generation Toyota 4Runner. If you look at the side of the Landstalker, the rear window is raised up compared to the door windows, like the 4Runner, and the body line marked in red dips down further than the Escape or GC, just like said 4Runner.

Then, there's the rear tailgate, license plate, and spare tire...which all actually match the Japanese market (JDM) version, the Hilux Surf.


This? A 4runner? HA!

This is too big be a 4runner, and the Hilux Surf wasn't sold in the States nor legal to import to America.

If you ask ME, then it's either a first gen Land Rover Freelander or a first gen Honda CR-V.

The headlights are the only thing that matches (except for the photoshopped grille). To be honest, I think the Landstalker looks too old to be either the Grand Cherokee or Escape.

The Vector M12 has completely different taillights, and the shape of the windows are clearly taken from the Lambo, and most importantly, it's called Diablo in the script: gtamodding.ru/wiki/Kenji#kenji2

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.

Just browsing through google images I came across the '01 Stratus when it hit me. The general concave rear styling and shape of the C-pillar are getting as close to that super lowpoly Kuruma model as any car will get. I think most of us agree that the model was largely inspired by Chrysler's full- and midsize sedans around 2000 (when the Kuruma was designed) and definitely are not a Stylus.

But I think the general proportions of the car are closer to the Stratus than they are to the Intrepid (it just isn't quite as long/sleek) so the Stratus would be my choice.

And btw, amazing that I only noticed that now 2 days after this discussion started again. I expected to dig out a topic from 10 years ago. :D

Well writing things like "Hi, I'm John and I'm 13 years old" for example isn't really a big deal. I see no point of hiding everything (unless someone has really screwed up something). Adding more info would make some profiles more faithful. For example on many websites I've seen dudes with a flag of USA for example but with completely bad english or people that were telling you that they are old but actually they are under 10 and that was really dissapointing me.
