You think you know, but you have no idea. This is the diary of Michael Townley.

I guess I should've gotten a Coquette after all... Oh well I'll get one for Online once I get an apartment with a 10-car garage (currently have one with a 6-car garage and I've only got room for 2 more cars, which will be a Phoenix and a Vigero).

Only seen those on Le Mans cars (Oreca Viper and Porsche 911's, respectively). Look good on those cars, but like crap anywhere else.

Yeah I figured they were a reference to Le Mans but still found it weird.

Huh...what is this "Coquette"? I've not heard of it. Who makes it and what's it based off?

still needs the A-pillars painted. Looks ridiculous with the roof rails just hanging there.

Invetero makes it, and i believe it's on the Declasse Motor Company's Omega platform.

Well, the one I liberated was a convertible version, to which I added the roof later in the customs shop. That might explain the color discrepancies.

If only complaining about the space in a six-car garage were a real-world problem (for non-rich people).

Good luck. Don't think you'll find much.

That's one thing that's really confused me with the GTA V car list.
There's Chevrolet based models in 6 different in-game brands.
Declasse, Invetero, Cheval, Vapid, Brute, and Imponte.
Now, some of them make a bit of sense, since Imponte is the GTA version of Pontiac (the Ruiner is a fusion of Camaro and Firebird), Brute is the GTA version of GMC, and Invetero is at least partially inspired by the Corvette having been sold in Europe as it's own brand.
Vapid, though...doesn't make a lot of sense...it's the GTA version of Ford.
Now, some of the other brands in the game are a bit mixed up as well.
For example, Bravado is the GTA version of Dodge, but the Feroci in GTA IV looks like a Lexus (which, logically, should be a Karin), and the Rumpo in GTA V is a fusion of a GMC Savana (Brute) and a Ford E-Series (Vapid). Also, the Minivan is based on the Dodge Caravan, but is a Vapid.
Throw on top of that the Grotti Carbonizzare, which is mostly an Aston Martin V12 Zagato with a nose that's a fusion of an R35 GT-R and a 458 Italia, while Grotti is plainly the GTA version of Ferrari.
Then, there's the Albany brand. Mostly Cadillac, except for the Buccaneer, which is apparently a Buick Riviera, and in GTA IV, Buick was represented by Willard, and the Washington, which is a Lincoln Town Car, thus should be a Dundreary, like it's Stretch counterpart and the Landstalker.
Of course, since there's no Willard cars available in GTA V (with the exception of a wrecked Faction), Buick could fit in the Albany brand like the Burrito based Ambulance, Camper, Tourbus, and Rental Shuttle Bus fit in as Brute branded models.
Also confusing, is the Karin brand. They have the Intruder, which is an Infiniti Q45. Logically, it should be an Annis, along with the Elegy RH8.
Lastly, and the most confusing, is Zirconium. They have two models that, logically, shouldn't even be from the same brand: the Stratum and the Journey. The Stratum is a hodgepodge of Nissan Skyline (Annis), Honda Accord (Dinka), and Subaru Legacy (possibly Karin), while the Journey is a Winnebago, which may fit in with the Brute brand, along side the Camper.
Seems a lot of GTA V's cars have a serious identity crisis.
FYI: I don't have the game yet, I've seen them all on IGCD.
