A GTA III Manana.

The Manana is a small car with little power or handling characteristics. In GTA III and GTA Vice City it is a very boxy car, but in GTA San Andreas it is a medium-sized, streamlined car; this is very likely due to different models being released by the car company that manufactures it during various years as opposed to retconning. So far its has not changed much in appearance except for perhaps looking boxier in GTA Vice City, due to the much earlier timeline. In GTA III, Vice City, and Vice City Stories, it resembles a Dodge Aries/Plymouth Reliant coupe. In San Andreas, it resembles a Dodge Shadow, which succeeded the Aries in the Dodge lineup, and was sold in the early 90s, San Andreas' setting, as opposed to the Aries, which was discontinued in the late 1980s. However, in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, it resembles a Mazda Miata, with much improved handling.

GTA IV

The Albany Manana has a very different look in GTA IV compared to the previous games - it's now got style! The GTA IV version is derived from a 1972 Buick Electra with the roof and windows of a 1977 or '78 Lincoln Continental and the back of a 1968 Buick Electra, and is available as both a coupe and a convertible. This version of the Manana does have one thing in common with the other versions, it still has poor performance and mediocre handling. The "Manana" Logo is inspired by a Mk1 BMC MINI.
