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 sides are closer to a 1970-'72 Chevrolet Chevelle (if this isn't caused as a result of simplification), and the trunk is quite large and the back window is awkwardly small (similar in size to the rear window on the convertible version of either vehicle). The name is a parody of Cutlass, seeing as both Sabre and Cutlass are swords. | 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 sides are closer to a 1970-'72 Chevrolet Chevelle (if this isn't caused as a result of simplification), and the trunk is quite large and the back window is awkwardly small (similar in size to the rear window on the convertible version of either vehicle).

The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, it actually looks like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Faction]]. It resembles a 1983-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (the other models are completely different) with subtle changes. There doesn't appear to be a base model of the Sabre but the [[Tahoma]] from GTA | The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, it actually looks like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Faction]]. It resembles a 1983-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS (the other models are completely different) with subtle changes. 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 the Sabre is based on an SS vehicle and the Sabre GT emulates one and should technically also be called the Sabre GT. | ||

Acceleration and speed are very impressive since it has a V8 engine. The Sabre's handling is arguably among the best in GTA San Andreas, and the brakes are excellent. However, being the rear-drive muscle car it is, this vehicle's drivetrain is overpowered, leading to occasional burnout and fishtailing, and a general decline in performance in wet weather. Its frame is sturdy and can take a fair amount of damage, but its intense power and heavy construction mean the car is able to survive very few high-speed collisions. | Acceleration and speed are very impressive since it has a V8 engine.
