[[ | In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the Merit, assuming a [[Declasse]] badge, is redesigned with a similar look to the [[wp:Chevrolet Impala#2000-2005|2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala]] with the back seemingly inspired by a mid-1990s [[wp:BMW 3 Series (E36)|BMW E36 3-Series]], the front bumper could be derived from a variety of cars, and the headlights look more reminiscent of a [[wp:Pontiac GTO#Revival|fourth generation Pontiac GTO]] than the Impala (the split grille is also Pontiac-like). This car is also the standard base for the [[Police Patrol]] car and a [[Taxi|taxi car]]. | ||

Acceleration is good, but us nothing special, and in line with the Merit's vanilla, everyday sedan image. Its top speed, 145 km/h (90 mph), is good, but not impressive. Braking is very good, and ABS is standard. The suspension is very firm, keeping the Merit flat through corners, and enabling it to corner effectively at speed. | ||
Accident deformation is acceptable, as the Merit will survive a few frontal impacts before being rendered unusable. The Merit seems suited towards any situation; it's capable of high speeds and it seems able to survive a serious car chase, making it a perfect addition to any parking space. | |||
