Design
GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories
The Regina in the GTA III Era resembles a 1984-1988 Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon in the placement of the wood paneling and chrome strips on the sides; The shape of hood's front also echoes 70's Cadillacs. The grille resembles that of a mid-'80s Pontiac Parisienne. Unlike all these cars, the Regina is front wheel drive.

The Lost and Damned
In The Lost and Damned, the Dundreary Regina is designed as a 1960s station wagon with aftermarket wheels and low ground clearance. The car's sides resemble those of 1960s GM B platform station wagons, for example the 1965-1970 Chevrolet Impala, or 1965-1969 Pontiac Bonneville; it is more likely from the Impala wagons as it has a lack of lower creases; the black roof, however seems to be more typical of Pontiac wagons. The taillight and rear chrome design resemble those of the 1965 Pontiacs, especially the Bonneville station wagon; the front loosely resembles most 1961 Pontiac models.
Performance
Acceleration is modest, and speed is severely lacking - with the Regina's front-wheel drive powertrain, the underpowered V8 struggles to move this behemoth. Handling is sluggish, the car suffers from obvious understeer, and the brakes do a barely acceptable job of slowing the enormous chassis. The Regina is not especially sturdy, nor capable of withstanding heavy damage, and is a generally undesirable vehicle.

The Lost and Damned
- During "Heavy Toll", its only appearance in the game. There is only one way to obtain this vehicle, and that is to take it to the Bohan safehouse; to prevent losing the Slamvan from this mission, it is best to push the Regina there using the Slamvan.
- After "Heavy Toll", if the player quickly gets to a nearby road, there is the slim chance that a Regina may spawn parked or in traffic.
