=== Design ===
=== GTA San Andreas ===
In GTA San Andreas, the Primo is one of the better sedans available in the game, although its design is less unremarkable and thus appears more generic in traffic. It resembles a [[:wp:Toyota Camry#Second generation (V20; 1986–1990)|1987-1990 Toyota Camry]] sedan to some extent. The grille and headlights are similar to the [[:wp:Infiniti_M#Generation_1:_1990-1992|1990-1992 Infiniti M30]].

=== GTA IV - GTA V ===
* Colors (exterior)
In GTA IV, the [[Albany]] Primo retains its four-door sedan design, but is influenced heavily by the [[:wp:Cadillac Allanté|1987–1993 Cadillac Allante]] but has a four door sedan design most likely from a 90s/80s GM A-body, like the [[:wp:Buick Century#1989-1996|1989-1996 Buick Century]]. The top of the trunk lid seems loosely inspired by [[:wp:Cadillac Seville#1992 to 1997|1992-2004 Cadillac Sevilles]], this also may be the source for the bulkier appearance. The car is also available in one-tone or two-tone body colors (which are probably inspired from Cadillac Sevilles, more likely the 1986-1991 models). The Primo in GTA V seems identical in design to the GTA IV rendition.

=== GTA San Andreas ===
=== GTA San Andreas ===
The Primo is one of the most dependable vehicles in the game, possessing good handling as a result of its lighter weight, fair acceleration and a decent top speed. For that, it is an ideal choice for doing drive-bys against enemy gangs. While relatively acceptable under normal driving conditions, the Primo's axle width may make the car less stable in bumpy conditions.

Due to its sturdy build, the Primo is able to take a few direct frontal hits without stalling or setting alight.

==Locations==
== Variants ==
The Primo can be found almost anywhere in the [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|state of San Andreas]].
In GTA IV, there are two different styles of Primo. There is a standard middle-of-the-road sedan, and there is also one with a special "Supercharged V8" badge on its decklid. The supercharged Primo is lowered with added ground effects and a spoiler. It always comes in maroon, and is the vehicle of choice for members of the [[Spanish Lords]] (though it can be repainted at a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] in the standard Primo colors). Despite the "Supercharged V8" badge, it has the same performance as the regular Primo, and sounds just like the regular Primo - nothing like a V8, which leads us to believe that the effects are purely cosmetic. The Supercharged V8 Primo can usually be found driven in and around Spanish Lords territory, including [[Cerveza Heights]], [[South Bohan]], [[East Holland]] and southern [[Alderney City]].

While not an actual variant per se, standard black Primos may also be found with the same golden trims as those on the Supercharged V8 variant, the only color scheme for standard Primos to incorporate golden trims.
