Rockstar, please stop with the laziness in headlights. Oh, and BMW called. They want the Mini back, too.

When I saw the word "Rockstar" I was looking for a big can on the trunk!

I don't follow your point. Considering these are meant to be fictional cars that are a sort of hodge-podge of the real cars that inspire them, it seems odd to criticize them for... well I'm still not sure what you're referring to.

The Issi is meant to be a Mini, yes. However, they couldn't make it look exactly like a mini without running into copyright issues, so they change a few things. General body lines, headlights, names, etc... to make it more original.

You really seem to dislike the game.

... Please tell me you've heard of the 996 911.

GTA cars are not real cars. They're meant to be like real cars, but they have to avoid copyright shenanigans because car companies don't want people to see their cars covered in hooker blood and bullet holes.

Yes, and I agree they definitely resemble the fried-egg 996 headlights, I just don't see why it's an issue. Hell, there's a car that's a mix of an Aston Zagato, GTR, and 599. Not to mention the Camaro/Challenger hybrid, or the Koenigsegg/Aventador, or any of the other weird mash-ups they used.

Ain't worth getting upset over.

I've got Frank's Buffalo pimped to the 9's. Carbon hood/roof, matte green paint, stock car spoiler, carbon BBSish wheels... looks nice, sounds nice, drives nice.

It does kind of look like a squished MR2.

Their cars have always been a mish-mash of different models. This is no exception.

Red Bull, but close enough.

That's almost exactly what I've done to mine! The only difference is that I used the more discrete ducktail spoiler and got some wheels I don't quite know the name of (but which are sort of BBS-ish I guess).

I believe that would be redbull sir.

Yeah I know :p

I was just trying to be funny since Rockstar is the name of an energy drink as well as the video game company

Yeah I know, but Red Bull doesn't make video games :p

Rockstar energy drink, Rockstar video games!

Well, that sounds like it would look adorable. And I want it to happen.

I love the weird mash-ups, lets you think about what came from what, the mini 996 headlights were one of the first I noticed and loved it. I'm a fan of the gallardo/mclaren as well.
