The Sabre in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories closely resembles a [[wp:Oldsmobile Cutlass#Third Generation - 1968-1972|1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass]], but without the split grille (but the front bumper is still intact) and the trunk is larger and the back window is awkwardly small (similar in size to the rear window on the convertible version). The name is a parody of Cutlass, judging by the fact that the Sabre and Cutlass are swords. Being a 2 door makes it a bad choice for drive-bys or carrying an entourage in GTA San Andreas; it is also used as a gang car by the [[San Fierro Rifa]]. | The Sabre in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories closely resembles a [[:wp:Oldsmobile Cutlass#Third Generation - 1968-1972|1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass]], but without the split grille (but the front bumper is still intact) and the trunk is larger and the back window is awkwardly small (similar in size to the rear window on the convertible version).

The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, actually appearing like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Willard (manufacturer)|Willard]] [[Faction]]. It resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Monte Carlo#Fourth generation|1983-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS]] (the other models have different front ends), the front end resembles a [[wp:Dodge 600|1983-1985 Dodge 600]] more so than the Monte Carlo SS but could be meant to emulate the front of the Monte Carlo SS. It features decals on the sides (somewhat like the Monte Carlo SS) reading: "Sabre 550SS". There isn't a base model of the Sabre. | The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, actually appearing like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Willard (manufacturer)|Willard]] [[Faction]].

The Sabre is one of a range of cars that can be found [[Wrecks|in total disrepair]] in GTA IV - rusted out versions of it that spew huge clouds of brown exhaust and backfires randomly, as well as featuring junky bodywork, rusting metallic parts, occasionally missing headlights and radiator grills, and jutting exhaust pipes. The beater Sabres also have vastly inferior performance, with a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph). | The Sabre is one of a range of cars that can be found [[Wrecks|in total disrepair]] in GTA IV - rusted out versions of it that spew huge clouds of brown exhaust and backfires randomly, as well as featuring junky bodywork, rusting metallic parts, occasionally missing headlights and radiator grills, and jutting exhaust pipes.

* A green Sabre was used by the [[Ballas]] to do a drive-by at the Johnson house, which killed [[Carl Johnson|CJ's]] and [[Sweet|Sweet's]] [[Beverly Johnson|mom]], triggering the beginning of GTA San Andreas, in which the [[Grove Street Families]] seek revenge on the Ballas and their allies.
