==Description==
==Description==
Depicted as a large, two-door 1970s coupe with a soft-top, the Idaho's styling contains elements of a [[wp:Buick Riviera#Fourth generation .281974-1976.29|fourth generation Buick Riviera]] but the front is closer to a [[wp:Chevrolet Caprice#Second generation .281971.E2.80.931976.29|1975/'76 Chevy Caprice]] (with added turning signals). The GTA Advance rendition is depicted with a dimension dissimilar to that of other Idaho's, with a shorter front end and a smoother front profile, but retaining a different top color. Due to its heavy build and soft suspension, the Idaho lacks serious performance credentials, with poor speed and steering.  
=== Design ===
Depicted as a large, two-door 1970s coupe with a soft-top, the Idaho's styling contains elements of a [[wp:Buick Riviera#Fourth generation .281974-1976.29|fourth generation Buick Riviera]] but the front is closer to a [[wp:Chevrolet Caprice#Second generation .281971.E2.80.931976.29|1975/'76 Chevy Caprice]] (with added turning signals). The GTA Advance rendition is depicted with a dimension dissimilar to that of other Idaho's, with a shorter front end and a smoother front profile, but retaining a different top color.


The Idaho has looked virtually the same in most game it has appeared in, with noticeable tweaks and changes in minor details, mainly on its wheels and windscreens. The GTA Vice City rendition, in particular, received better detailing, but the game's rendition was not carried over to GTA Vice City Stories, as it has been for most other vehicles from GTA Vice City. Instead, GTA Vice City Stories reuses GTA III's or GTA Liberty City Stories' rendition of the Idaho.

=== Performance ===
Due to its heavy build and soft suspension, the Idaho lacks serious performance credentials, with poor speed and steering. In GTA III though, it has some of the best brakes in the game, being one of the only two vehicles that scrapes the front bumper on the ground under full braking (the other being the [[FBI Kuruma]]). This places the car at a standing that is even lower than that of an [[Esperanto]], but is still faster than a [[Manana]]. The [[crusher]] scrap value of the car in GTA Advance is [[Money|$]]512.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Hachura-GTAIII-wreck-front.jpg|thumb|275px|right|A "Hachura" wreck in GTA III, similar to the beta Hachura (<small>[[:File:Hachura-GTAIII-wreck-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]</small>).]]
 
* One type of [[Wrecks|car wrecks]] that can be seen in GTA III, and reused in GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, uses a similar model as early versions of the GTA III Idaho. However, the wreck is not to be confused with a second, roofless variant; although the second wreck derives textures from the Idaho wreck, it bears little resemblance to the Idaho or the Idaho wreck.
