The ''[[Imponte]]'' '''Ruiner''' is a 2-door coupe found exclusively in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], resembling a 1982–1992 Pontiac Firebird, and slightly a third generation [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro Chevrolet Camaro], some even featuring a "Ruiner" decal along the lower part of the doors, similar to the Camaro's IROC-Z counterpart.

The front end semi-concealed pop-up headlights are a bit more reminiscent of the mid to late 80's Nissan 300ZX (Z31 Series).  However, the curved rear windscreen is unmistakable as GM's F-Body sports car range. There are a couple Pontiac Firebird influences: The taillights are shaped like a Camaro's, but the arrangement of the lights looks similar to a Firebird's and the area between the taillights is similar to a Firebird's (but says "Imponte" where the Firebird logo would be). It is most likely meant to emulate a Firebird since it is manufactured by Imponte.
The curved rear windscreen is unmistakable as GM's F-Body sports car range. However, the front-end semi-concealed pop-up headlights are more reminiscent of the 1984-1986 Nissan 300ZX (Z31 Series) but the nose seems slightly smoothed—much like the Camaro's. There are also a couple Pontiac Firebird influences: The taillights are shaped like a Camaro's, but the arrangement of the lights looks similar to a Firebird's and the area between the taillights is similar to a Firebird's (but says "Imponte" where the Firebird logo would be). It is likely meant to emulate a Firebird since it is manufactured by Imponte but it bears a closer appearance to a Camaro.


Ruiners feature license plate frames that say "Ruining Imports Since '67," which is the year the aforementioned GM F-body coupes debuted (however, this seems contradicted since it has some Nissan influence).
