A Rhapsody in GTA V.

The sides and rear of the Rhapsody resembles an AMC Pacer manufactured in the 1970s, while the front bears similarities to a Volkswagen Golf Mk I.

Performance

The Rhapsody's performance is considerably poor, and while the car's size and design makes it comparable to the Blista Compact, the Rhapsody's performance is worse. In addition to an average rate of acceleration and a poor top speed (115 km/h - 71 mph), the car is considerably heavier than the Blista Compact, making it harder to corner and brake. However, the Rhapsody's rear-wheel drive (as opposed to the Blista Compact's front-wheel drive) and more reasonable torque that minimizes burnouts as power is applied to the power train.

Furthermore, a "W" (as in "Wayne's World") is seen badged inside and outside the car.
    • The photograph is blacked out in GTA V.
  • The Rhapsody shares its interior with the Stallion, like the Regina, with the Rhapsody badge stamped on the dashboard and doors; as such, the steering wheel on the Rhapsody bears Classique's logo rather than Declasse's.
