Manana: Difference between revisions

The '''Manana''' is a two-door coupe first introduced in [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. For much of its existence, the Manana has been designed as an undesirable vehicle, combining poor performance with unappealing aesthetics. The Manana concept was significantly changed in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], but retains its two-door coupe body style.

==Description==

It is considered one of the worst cars in these games, with a top speed around 120 km/h in GTA San Andreas.

===GTA IV — GTA Chinatown Wars===

The [[Albany]] Manana has a very different look in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] compared to its namesake in the previous games - it is now a sharp '70s-style luxury car. The front detailing resembles that of a [[wp:Buick LeSabre#1971-1976|1975 Buick LeSabre]], but the rest is unmistakably derived from a [[wp:Cadillac Eldorado#1967-1970|1967 or '68 Cadillac Eldorado]]; the front bumper is derived from neither of these cars, having a late '70s look. The car is available as both a coupe and a convertible. The GTA IV rendition of the Manana does have one thing in common with the prior versions: it still has poor performance and mediocre handling, although it is far from the worst-handling car in the game. Its top speed is about 150 km/h (93 mph). The car can be sold for $1,200 at [[S&M Auto Sales]] after completion of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]] in GTA IV.

The Manana in GTA Chinatown Wars exists exclusively as the gang car for the [[Hillside Posse|Yardies]], appearing only with a green body color and a yellow [[wp:Vinyl roof|landau]], and a more compact 1960s/1970s design. Performance wise, the car is a significant improvement over its many preceding renditions, with moderate top speed and acceleration, good steering and acceptable brakes. For the first time in the series, it is a 4-door sedan, which can be compared with the [[Greenwood]] in its appearance.

==Variants==

In The Ballad of Gay Tony, during [[Arnaud]]'s second [[Random Encounter|encounter]], he drives a unique maroon and gold Manana to chase after a pimp, who stole his wallet and beat him up after a rather odd night of opium and [[prostitutes]]. After the player drops off Arnuad, the car can be kept.
