It is based on an Allante in GTA IV
Don't mean to star a "nerd war" but I'm tired of people getting this car wrong. This car is so obviously based on a Cadillac Allante, I have no idea where everybody is getting the Seville thing. Compare this picture to this one, the only real difference is that Rockstar moved the turning signals up a little. And just check out the back, the taillights are unmistakably from an Allante. Now Rockstar likes to screw around with cars, like the Tahoma from GTA SA, this is a 2-door made into a 4-door. I guess the 4-door design is from a 90s/80s GM A-bodies like the Buick Century, or the Oldsmobile Ciera, etc and the same design on the sides of the Allante are still carried on. Besides the Primo being a bit bulkier and rounded, its pretty dead on.--Thescarydude 14:34, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like an argument based on minor details. For starters, the Allante is a convertible two-door, which does not explain how the C pillar of the Primo came about when the Primo is a four-door hardtop sedan. I am in no position to argue about the designs of the lights, front and back, but the body design (at least) is more likely to be that of a Seville, especially when comparing the profile of the body and the height difference of the trunk space. And then there's the case of how the two-tone color design came about; this image only cleared up any doubt of this. Let's just leave it to the body based on the Seville, while other aspects of the design based on other models.
