The windowline and overall body shape are definitely more A6 though. The A8's much wider and the windowline is different, whereas the windowline of the A6 is an almost exact match.

Ah ok. Well, what's the harm in signing up I guess.

They got around that by simply claiming that the 2D, the last-gen 3D and the current-gen 3D games are all set in their own respective universes.

C'mon, that is obviously a GTR. Look at the windowline, almost an exact copy. They do occasionally switch the names around.

Or better yet, the Maibatsu Thunder commercials in Vice City - "with the power of fuel injection" *female voice* "Inject me!"

The Annis Elegy RH8 is the Nissan GT-R, no doubt about it. Apparently in order to unlock it, you'll need to complete the Social Club challenges.

The Lampadati Felon is a bit hard to pin down. The overall body shape is very Quattroporte whereas the front and rear look more like a Jaguar XF.

This is the Cheval Fugitive and in my eyes it most closely resembles the new Chevy Impala (although a more liberal interpretation than some of the cars).

The Karin BeeJay XL (heh) is the Toyota FJ Cruiser.

That's more of a Buick Riviera I think. Exposed headlights aside, the lines are an almost exact match. Also, GTAs equivalent of Pontiac is Imponte (which I've always assumed was a pun on "impotent"). Albany is more Cadillac/Buick.

As I posted, it'll likely be called "Maibatsu Penumbra" which is all kinds of clever.

This is the "Grotti Stinger" which looks like a mix of various 60s Italian supercar design elements, perhaps most closely resembling an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale - if Alfa had made a convertible version.

Returning from GTA 4 is the good old Albany Emperor, which is so clearly a Cadillac Sedan De Ville, I imagine they only get away with it because car companies care less about their old product licensing wise than their current line-up.

The "Maibatsu Penumbra" is quite clearly a Mitsubishi Eclipse PS. The similarities go right down to the name - Maibatsu is essentially GTA's equivalent of Mitsubishi and "penumbra" refers to, among other things, the semi-dark condition during a partial solar eclipse.

The name is brilliant - I always liked the Chrysler = Schyster pun, and "Fusilade" is thematically close to "Crossfire" - a "fusillade" is an old military term for what is essentially suppressing fire.

Cool, I was wondering when we were gonna get a retro Mustang in GTA. This one particulary looks like a retro version of the 71-73 bodystyle.

The "Obey Tailgater" is an Audi sedan, closest maybe to the A6. I do love the name!

Don't forget it gives them another opportunity to insert their trademark snarky humor - the Audi RS4/6 inspired model is called the "Obey Tailgater".

So were most of Led Zep's songs, on the first two albums anyway (which opens up the whole "cultural appropriation" can of worms - it's really just old blues standards played by white guys, and the black composers never even saw a dime). Doesn't make it any better IMO.

There really are perciously few male acts from that time that don't have at least one weird misgogynist ramble in their catalog - even Jimi Hendrix has "Hey Joe" amongst others. It never really let up either, in some genres it has only gotten worse.
