There are two different taxi sedans in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]; one built by [[Declasse]], based on the [[Merit]], which is the [[wp:Chevrolet Impala|2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala]], and the other built by [[Vapid]], based on the [[Vapid Fleet Sedan|Fleet Sedan]], influenced strongly by the [[wp:Ford Crown Victoria#First generation (1992–1997)|1992–1997 Ford Crown Victoria P72]], with frontal design cues more similar to a [[wp:Ford Crown Victoria#Second generation (1998–present)|1998–2011 model]]. | There are two different taxi sedans in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]; one built by [[Declasse]], based on the [[Merit]], which is the [[:wp:Chevrolet Impala|2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala]], and the other built by [[Vapid]], based on the [[Vapid Fleet Sedan|Fleet Sedan]], influenced strongly by the [[:wp:Ford Crown Victoria#First generation (1992–1997)|1992–1997 Ford Crown Victoria P72]], with frontal design cues more similar to a [[:wp:Ford Crown Victoria#Second generation (1998–present)|1998–2011 model]]. | ||
While the Taxis come standard with regular taxi lights, some have rooftop advertisements for "[[WTF]]", "[[Banging Trash Can Lids for an Hour]]", "[[Conjoined Twins]]", "[[The Science Of Crime]]", and [[Weazel News]], both of which can detach in collisions. Both models contain a [[wp:Taxicabs of New York City#Medallion taxicabs and livery taxicabs|medallion]] on the front hood, which is used to indicate that [[wp:New York City Taxi|New York City Taxi]] are licensed to pick up passengers; they also have a red marker on the back left. Vapid Taxis may also have yellow, grey or black bumpers. | While the Taxis come standard with regular taxi lights, some have rooftop advertisements for "[[WTF]]", "[[Banging Trash Can Lids for an Hour]]", "[[Conjoined Twins]]", "[[The Science Of Crime]]", and [[Weazel News]], both of which can detach in collisions.
