I'm not here to debate what exactly the Vice City rendition of the Admiral is based upon (you would have to ask Rockstar), so even the analogy to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Benz W123 is pure fan speculation which I'm okay with. However, the Admiral not only resembles the W123, it also appears similar to a Volvo 240 in that era as well, but we are not forced to pick between the two. Rockstar after all has blended elements of different makes into its vehicle design, for intance the Police in GTA III is a mix between the Chevrolet Caprice and Crown Victoria.

:Yes, I know of literal "hybrid cars," I've been correcting a lot of the design descriptions around here for a long time, You didn't use anything to support the Volvo however (mentioning similarities specific to the Volvo). Sure both cars are similar, but they are still very different. One of the most easiest I judge what the cars are based on is looking at the sides, especially the shape of the doors. | :Yes, I know of literal "hybrid cars," I've been correcting a lot of the design descriptions around here for a long time, You didn't use anything to support the Volvo however (mentioning similarities specific to the Volvo).

:I hope you see the Mercedes wins here in being similar to the Admiral. Also every other aspect of the vehicle is like the Mercedes (similar headlights, grille, narrow taillights and skinny rear bumper).--[[User:Thescarydude|Thescarydude]] 18:44, September 30, 2010 (UTC) | :I hope you see the Mercedes wins here in being similar to the Admiral.
