(Undo revision 110678 by Crwpitman (talk) The greenhous is much closer to a Monte Carlo and the Buick is really off.)
Line 6: Line 6:
The Sabre from the Grand Theft Auto III era closely resembles a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, but without the split grille (but the front bumper is still intact) and the trunk is larger and the back window is awkwardly small (similar in size to the rear window on the convertible version). The name is a parody of Cutlass, seeing as both Sabre and Cutlass are swords.

The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, actually appearing like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Willard (manufacturer)|Willard]] [[Faction]]. It seems to draw from several GM couple of a similar size.  The greenhouse and general body shape resembles the 1978-81 Cutlass, keeping in line with it's real life counterpart's liniage.  However, the taillights are dead ringers of those from the Buick Century of the same era.  The decklid spoiler and general sporty looks recalls the look of the Century Turbo Coupe, although the roofline and shoulder line kickup after the doors resembles the afforementioned Cutlass, which had no equivalent sports package.  The overall look of the car also seems to pull from the 1983-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (the other models have different front ends).  The front end resembles a 1983-1985 Dodge 600 more so than any GM product but could be meant to emulate the front of the Monte Carlo SS. It features decals on the sides (somewhat like the Monte Carlo SS) reading: "550 SS".

It features decals on the sides (somewhat like the Monte Carlo SS) reading: "Sabre 550SS". There doesn't appear to be a base model of the Sabre but the [[Tahoma]] from GTA San Andreas is based on the standard Monte Carlo however it has been made into a four door. There is also a [[Sabre GT]] in GTA IV, but is based on an older version of the car, and looks more like the previously featured Sabre, this is awkward since both Sabres emulate Chevrolet SS vehicles, yet only the older one bears the GT trim level.
 
There is also a [[Sabre GT]] in GTA IV, which looks more like the previously featured Sabre, and seems to be a step in the evolution between the previous GTA Sabres and the Sabre of GTA IV.  However the car looks more like an early 70's Buick GS (or Skylark) in the grille detailing and front end treatment.
