Vapid: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:34, 15 February 2015

Vapid is an American automotive company in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. It is primarily based on Ford Motor Company, although some of its models resemble some of those made by Chevrolet, Dodge, Land Rover, and even the International Harvester/Navistar International. In parody of Ford's famous blue oval badge, Vapid's logo is a red oval. The word 'vapid' means 'dull' but also sounds similar to 'rapid,' a possible motivation for the use of the name. Vapid is one of the biggest car manufacturers in Grand Theft Auto IV, along with Declasse.

For at least the duration of the Minivan's production, Vapid maintained a relationship with Schyster, which is based on Chrysler. Schyster's Cabby taxicab appears to be a re-badged Vapid Minivan and features a "Limited Vapid Design" badge.

-Vapid signage can be seen in the background of a pre-release screenshot for [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. This indicates the possibility of a Vapid dealership in the game. Additionally, a new Vapid-branded police car and a heavy duty crew cab pickup truck are slated to appear in Grand Theft Auto V.
