Taxi
The Taxi is a four door sedan featured, in some form or other, in all of the games in the series so far. The taxi is often one of the most common vehicles on the road and, from GTA III to Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories, can be used to start the taxi sub-mission.
Overview
The Taxi is usually based on the same model as the Police. In GTA III, it resembles a cross between a late model Chevrolet Caprice and Ford Crown Victoria (it sports design elements of both) while in GTA Vice City it is a Ford LTD lookalike. In GTA San Andreas the Taxi is based on the Premier, which is mid-nineties Chevrolet Caprice. In GTA IV, there are two different taxi sedans, one based off the Merit and the other is built by Vapid and resembles a Ford Crown Victoria. The Vapid taxi doesn't have a civilian version, though that model is also used by the LCPD as a police cruiser. There is also a taxi based off the game's Minivan model, but its official in-game name is "Cabby".
