The word "kuruma" means "automobile" in Japanese ([[:wp:ja:車|車]]), which may suggest that the car is of Japanese origin. However, the car is loosely based on a [[wp:Dodge Intrepid|1998–2004 Dodge Intrepid]] and a [[wp:Chrysler Sebring|2001–2003 Chrysler Sebring]].

There also appears to be resemblances of the [[wp:Rover 400/45|Rover 45 (2004–2005)]], particularly the rear. For GTA Liberty City Stories, the Kuruma has slight cosmetic changes to make it look like a generic Japanese sedan during the late 1990s, the front appearing to resemble a [[wp:Honda Accord|1994–1997 Honda Accord]], and the taillights from a [[wp:Opel Vectra|Opel/Vauxhall/Holden/Chevrolet Vectra C]]; it also comes with coloured or uncoloured (gray) bumpers and trims, giving it the appearance of an economy car. | ||
The Kuruma is the first car made available to the player in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, in the missions "[[Give Me Liberty]]" and "[[Home Sweet Home]]", respectively, probably due to the fact that it handles relatively neutrally. When originally introduced in GTA III, the car is not seen driven on the streets of [[Portland]], but is parked in various locations in the island; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the car is present in Portland traffic. | The Kuruma is the first car made available to the player in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, in the missions "[[Give Me Liberty]]" and "[[Home Sweet Home]]", respectively, probably due to the fact that it handles relatively neutrally.
