The Greenwood is a 4 door vehicle available in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In GTA San Andreas, it is used quite often in the beginning of the game, spawning in front of Sweet's house in Ganton, and used as the primary transportation in several early missions. In GTA Vice City, the Greenwood plays a much smaller role, not being a significant part of any events in the story. A fire-proof Greenwood can be found in GTA: San Andreas, during the mission Drive-Thru. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Greenwood doesn't play any bigger role than it did in Vice City, however during a couple of robbery missions for the Empire Building feature, enemies escort an armored truck in fireproof and explosion proof Greenwood's.

Design

The Greenwood bears a strong resemblance to an mid/late-80's Dodge Diplomat, Plymouth Gran Fury, or a Chrysler Fifth Avenue. The grille, vinyl roof and headlights are closer to the Fifth Avenue but the headlights have been moved above the turning signals. The back doors could either be from the Diplomat or Gran Fury.

Performance

Though the speed and acceleration are less than ideal, the handling is improved over comparable vehicles found in the same areas. The front-engine, rear-drive vehicle is heavy and relatively sturdy, capable of withstanding a good deal of damage and making it a relatively solid choice for drive-bys and primary transport.

Trivia

  • Sweet owns a blue Greenwood bearing "GROVE4L" (Grove for Life) on the rear license plate. This vehicle is extensively used and wrecked in several Los Santos missions, even blowing up at one point after crashing through a Sprunk billboard and into a fuel tanker.
  • The Greenwood is the car of choice for the Grove Street Families, although in one mission Ballas are seen using it.
  • The Greenwood does not feature in GTA III, GTA Liberty City Stories or GTA IV.
