Dinka logo.
Dinka logo.

Dinka is an automobile manufacturer in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Dinka parodies Japanese automaker Honda, as components of Dinka's logo are reminiscent of the letter H which predominates Honda's logo. Dinka is also a play on "dinky", indicating a cheaply constructed small car, as Honda and other Japanese automakers initially produced low-quality econobox cars for export to the North American market in the 1970s, before moving to more upmarket vehicles.

The name may be derived from the South Sudanese ethinc group of the same name.
