The sides and rear resembles an [[wp:AMC Pacer|AMC Pacer]] manufactured in the 1970s, while the front seems to resemble an [[wp:Isuzu Gemini|Isuzu Gemini/Buick Opel]] (rather than a [[wp:Chevrolet Chevette|Chevrolet Chevette]], as its Declasse origins might imply).  It can be found fairly regularly in [[Alderney]] and [[Bohan]], and handles similarly to the [[Blista Compact]], albeit slower.
The [[Declasse]] '''Rhapsody''' is a two-door hatchback, appearing in [[The Lost and Damned|Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned]] and the [["I'm Not a Hipster" Update]] for [[Grand Theft Auto V]].


The Rhapsody's name is a reference to the movie [[wp:Wayne's World (film)|Wayne's World]], specifically the famous scene where the two lead characters, Wayne and Garth, sing along to the song "[[wp:Bohemian Rhapsody|Bohemian Rhapsody]]" by [[wp:Queen (band)|Queen]] while driving in the "Mirthmobile" (an AMC Pacer).  A photograph can be seen within the Rhapsody depicting two people resembling Wayne and Garth. Furthermore, a "'''W'''" (as in "'''W'''ayne's '''W'''orld") is seen badged inside and outside the car.

The sides and rear of the Rhapsody resembles an [[wp:AMC Pacer|AMC Pacer]] manufactured in the 1970s, while the front bears similarities to a [[wp:Volkswagen Golf Mk1|Volkswagen Golf Mk I]].


===Trivia===
=== 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.
 
==Trivia==
[[File:Rhapsody_Photo.PNG|frame|right|The texture of the photograph on  the Rhapsody's dashboard in The Lost and Damned.]]
* The Rhapsody's name is a reference to the film [[wp:Wayne's World (film)|Wayne's World]], specifically the famous scene where the two lead characters, Wayne and Garth, sing along to the song "[[wp:Bohemian Rhapsody|Bohemian Rhapsody]]" by [[wp:Queen (band)|Queen]] while driving in the "Mirthmobile" (an AMC Pacer). A photograph can be seen within the Rhapsody depicting two people resembling Wayne and Garth, with their catchphrase "Schwing" written on the bottom of the photo. Furthermore, a "'''W'''" (as in "'''W'''ayne's '''W'''orld") 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.
* The Rhapsody looks similar to a vehicle featured in the 2006 [[wp:Atari|Atari]] game [[wp:Driver: Parallel Lines|Driver: Parallel Lines]], which was also called the "[http://www.driver-dimension.com/vehicules_d4/_7.jpg Rhapsody]".
