The [[Imponte]] '''DF8-90''' is a vehicle in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It is a four-door sedan, and is fairly uncommon in traffic.

This car has a highly debatable design, however it takes many design cues from a [[wp:Pontiac G6|Pontiac G6]] (main styling/shape, and the bottom of the front clip), a [[wp:Pontiac Grand Am#1999-2005|1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am]] (the greenhouse/roof and shape of the back doors); the headlights look similar to a [[wp:Honda Civic (eighth generation)|2006-present Honda Civic]]; the taillights look somewhat like that of a [[wikipedia:Pontiac Bonneville#1992-1999|1992-1999 Pontiac Bonneville]] (the reverse lights integrated on the strip with "IMPONTE" on it seems similar to the ones on [[wp:Chevrolet Lumina#1995-2001|1995-1999 Chevrolet Luminas]], the actual strip itself is closer to the Bonneville). The black-tinted roof is probably inspired from the [[wp:Eagle Talon|Eagle Talon]]/[[wikipedia:Mitsubishi Eclipse|Mitsubishi Eclipse]]. The dashboard features red lighting, a Pontiac trademark.

Despite its near similar design, the DF8-90 is available in three different variants, each identifiable by the presence of a spoiler or the type of spoilers used, and their badges on the trunk lid. The base variant, which has no apparent indication of what engine it has, has no spoiler; the V6 Sport variant, however, features a basic spoiler, while the top-of-the-line V8 Turbo (Imponte Racing) variant features a larger curved spoiler. Otherwise, all three variants share the exact same body and range of body colors, and handling.

=== Performance ===

Acceleration is very good, among the best in its class (RWD 4-door sedans). The high-output engine, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox gives the DF8-90 base a very good top speed. Braking is fair, even though ABS is available. Handling is fair, though it may take heavy braking to be able to corner. The powerful engine's on all models make this car easy to slide/oversteer, making this car very fun to drive. The suspension is firm, keeping the DF8-90 level on long banked curves, but makes the ride quality harsh on some surfaces. Accident deformation is acceptable, and it can sustain multiple frontal impacts before being un-drivable or catching fire. It has a top speed of 155 km/h (96 mph).

A DF8-90 is requested as part of [[Stevie's Car Thefts]], featuring a uniquely light blue body color, but may appear in the form of any of the car's three variants. As a new DF8-90 will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to [[S&M Auto Sales]], the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another.

* A parked DF8-90 without black-tinted roof can be found in a parking lot under the train tracks in the [[Hove Beach]] area in [[Broker]] as part of a stolen car delivery mission for [[Stevie]]. It sells for approximately $5,500 at Stevie's garage in [[Bohan]].
