The Primo is a four door car available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV.
GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas the Primo is one of the better sedans available in the game. It resembles a 1987-1990 Toyota Camry to some extent and is one of the most dependable vehicles in the game. It has good handling, fair acceleration and a decent top speed, so its an ideal choice for doing drive-bys against enemy gangs. It can be found mostly anywhere in the State of San Andreas.
GTA IV
