The Borgnine in GTA III is a modified [[Cabbie]] with a red body and bloody spikes on the front and rear bumpers, while the GTA Advance rendition retains some of the qualities of the GTA III rendition, lacking the spike bumpers and serving as the only other taxi other than the game's [[Taxi]]. The Borgnine's handling is far superior to that of the car it's based on. However, the suspension system remains wobbly and soft. It is significantly resilient to crash damage, and thus useful in pursuits. | The Borgnine in GTA III is a modified [[Cabbie]] with a red body and bloody spikes on the front and rear bumpers, while the GTA Advance rendition retains some of the qualities of the GTA III rendition, lacking the spike bumpers and serving as the only other taxi other than the game's [[Taxi]].

The Borgnine's name is a homage to [[wp:Ernest Borgnine|Ernest Borgnine]], who starred in the 1981 movie [[wp:Escape from New York|Escape from New York]] as a cab driver named "Cabbie" in a prison-converted Manhattan; in the movie, Cabbie also drives a [[wp:Checker Marathon|Checker Marathon]] from which the Cabbie taxi and Borgnine are based on. The Borgnine's bumpers are perhaps a nod to Cabbie's hazardous profession in the crime-infested prison. | The Borgnine's name is a homage to [[wp:Ernest Borgnine|Ernest Borgnine]], who starred in the 1981 movie [[wp:Escape from New York|Escape from New York]] as a cab driver named "Cabbie" in a prison-converted Manhattan; in the movie, Cabbie also drives a [[wp:Checker Marathon|Checker Marathon]] from which the Cabbie taxi and Borgnine are based on.
