The [[Schyster]] '''Cabby''' is one of three yellow taxi models in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], based off of the in-game non-commercial [[Vapid]] [[Minivan]].  It resembles a fourth generation Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Voyager; though it should be noted that most [[wp:NYC Taxi|New York City Taxi]] minivans use the [[wp:Toyota Sienna|Toyota Sienna]] as their base.

== Design ==


While the vehicle bears a Schyster badge rather than that of Vapid, the rear of the vehicle reads on the left side '''Minivan Cabby''', and on the right side '''Limited Vapid designed'''.  Because it's based on the Minivan, all of its statistics are basically the same, except it now has a taxi paint job and a sign on the roof, which can fall off if you crash into something at a high enough speed. The handling is surprisingly good, but its acceleration is only moderate due to the heavy weight of the car.

== Performance ==
The Cabby, based off of the [[Minivan]], retains the same 24V V6, 4 speed gearbox and RWD layout, leading to slow acceleration and a poor top speed. The suspension has been slightly upgraded to cope with [[Algonquin]]'s rough roads, and handles much better than it's civilian counterpart. The brakes have also had a slight upgrade, giving the Cabby a shorter stopping distance. ABS remains standard equipment. Accident deformation and engine build quality remain acceptable.
