Looks like a 300C body, but a Rolls Royce grill...

they do that cuz there was a lawsuit about names being patented, so they can only use real names for the things they got permission/paid for to use in the game. the ak 47, a real gun, but all of the cars they make up stuff that isnt even close to the real thing becuz they dont want another lawsuit.

gta doesnt have that bad of graphics imo, but ya know, its only a video game, eh? it cant be like real life or else people would try to do the stupid **** they do it the game (nothing really stops them anyway, but if it was any more real, people would definantly think it was too easy and try it)

Actually, back on the subject of the 300C, I have to admit, the front end resembles a RR, but what 300 doesnt? But anyway, 300's have rounded headlights, that one has square. So either thats supposed to be a 300 with a RR BK, or R* just got lazy.

They've always changed the name of the vehicles so they wouldn't have to aquire the licensing, and they've made changes to the body style to ensure that it resembles it enough to make the point, but not so much they can be sued. The most clever, IMO, was the Club.

Think about it from an automaker's perspective, this is a game that is constantly protested and pushing the bar on what is acceptable as a form of art rather than obsenity. Would you want a product you sell to be associated with something so Taboo?

i think the "trashmaster" was pretty straight forward, as well as the "stretch"

ok, so yesterday i reserved it at blockbuster. $5 down. i don't have to pay anything else! just $5 down and i owe $54.99 on tuesday. i also get framed game art for reserving it! if any of you haven't reserved it yet, do it at blockbuster! you can even pay for it with old games! i have a buttload of 'em, so i may be able to take up azngtboy's deal once i see what i have left afterward.

anyway, back on the subject of gta cars, i personally think that the Land Stalker is the most clever name. i know it's a parody of Land Rover, but it just seems so different. i dunno... the least clever is definately the Ambulance, though. or the Taxi. one thing i hope is that they have the Turismo, i loved that car like a brother. oh yeah, and customization garages, like SA. XBOX LIVE!!!! i forgot all about it!!!!! i hope it has xbl free roam, not just saints row style stuff. oh man, i cannot freakin' wait!

I have a 360, but im getting it for PS3 cause all my buds have PS3 instead, besides online is free and graphics are better. No im not putting the 360 down or anything, just stating what I have experienced.

Also AIM is working fine.
