Trivia
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC, there is a data file titled carcols.dat which names some vehicles brands : one known brand (Maibatsu), one later-known brand (Shitsu, not Shitzu) and two unknown brands (Nioka and Kunst). So far, no one can tell which vehicles these brands have produced in the game.
- In GTA IV's audio files, two totally unknown brands are written, named "Steel Horse" and "Western Company" (not Western Motorcycle Company).[2][3]
