Sentinel design influences
While I can see the inlfuence from Buick, I also see a strong influence from BMW, particularly with the GTA:VC version of the Sentinel. It reminds me of a 7-series, e.g. a 735 or 740, with the XS possibly being an upgrade to a 750iL or something similar...what does everyone think? This is particularly evident in the grille: note how it slopes back toward the car as you go from hood to front bumper, just as BMW grilles used to back in the mid-80s.

BMW
I think the Sentinel's in GTA III and GTA SA were based on the E34 (1988-1996) BMW 5 series. The Sentinel from GTA VC looks like the E28 (1982-1988) 5 Series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_5_Series
The Sentinel in GTA IV is probably the new BMW M3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M3
