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, a totally unknown brand is written, "Western Company" (not Western Motorcycle Company). It's thought that the brand might be a non-motorcycle subsidiary of WMC.^[2]
