The Karin Dilettante is a hybrid vehicle created as kind of a joke for Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based on the 2004-2009 Toyota Prius, with headlights from a 2006 - 07 Citroen C4. According to an radio advertisement in the game, the Dilettante is worth $39,999 brand new, at least $20,000 more than the real life Prius is worth.
The word dilettante means a dabbler in fine arts, or a connoisseur. It can also mean amateurish or superficial. It has later been suspected that Rockstar named the car (and company) after a video game violence researcher, Karen Dill [1], but it hasn't been confirmed.
Performance

Locations
- One will be part of Stevie's car requests, located near a cafe in Dukes.
- It usually can spawn anywhere in Liberty City, but commonly in Broker and Dukes.
Gallery
