The Perennial is a station wagon from the Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV. In GTA III games, it can be found almost everywhere; it is common in GTA IV. The styling of the car has changed slightly throughout the games, but the performance has remained unchanged, until GTA IV.
Performance
The underpowered, front-wheel drive Perennial is, simply put, one of the slowest vehicles in the game. Acceleration is highly lacking, as is speed, predisposing the vehicle, whose handling is actually quite responsive, to oversteer and rolling. It is, however, quite sturdy, and can withstand significant damage before bursting into flames and exploding. The GTA IV Perennial, manufactured by Dinka, is moderately fast for an MPV, and can take a lot of damage.
Design
In the first three games of the GTA III Era It has a close resemblance to the 1963 Chevy Nova station wagon though much smaller and shorter, so short it is as long as the Corvair based Tampa.In GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories it looks like a 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood based on the position of the side panels and grille.
In GTA IV, likely as a joke given the Perennial's rustic appearance through the GTA3 family, the Perennial is now based off of the much more futuristic-looking 2006 Honda Odyssey or the (2006-2009) wikipedia:Honda Stream. The US version of the Honda Odyssey is much taller and more van-like, so it appears to be the JDM/International version of the Odyssey, which is closer to an estate car and isn't sold in the US despite it being prominent in the game. It does not have sliding doors, as the international version does not feature them. Althought it is mostly based on the JDM version of the Honda Odyssey, the side rear window looks very similar to a Mercedes-Benz R-Class. It also comes in a flyUS skin at the airport.
