Players can enter Taxis in GTA IV and, for a fee, take taxi rides to destinations, which is often a quicker alternative to driving themselves. Vapid Taxis may also have yellow, grey, or black bumpers, much like the Taxis in GTA Liberty City Stories and earlier New York Crown Victoria taxicabs. Both models feature a medallion screwed on the front hood, similar to a real practice by New York City Taxi to denote vehicles which are licensed to pick up passengers they also have a red marker on the back left. While the Taxis come standard with regular taxi lights, some have rooftop advertisements for " WTF", " Banging Trash Can Lids for an Hour", " Conjoined Twins", " The Science Of Crime", and Weazel News, all of which can detach in collisions. The only other vehicle in the game to feature this set of wheels is the FlyUS Feroci. The Declasse sedans use the same rim design, finished in a set of unique shallow dog dish hubcaps unseen on any real GM products, but are likely inspired by hubcaps available for early generations of the Crown Victoria. The same rim design is shared among these vehicles. The Vapid Taxi shares the same body design as the LCPD Police and NOOSE Cruisers, and its chassis is not used in any non-fleet car (although it appears as a civilian vehicle in GTA V). The second one is built by Vapid and is based on the Stanier, which is influenced strongly by the second generation second generation Mercury Grand Marquis, with frontal design cues more similar to a 1998–2011 Crown Victoria.The first one is built by Declasse and is based on the Merit, which in turn is based on the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala.The Taxi in Grand Theft Auto IV is depicted as two different sedans operated by L.C.C. The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition may appear with yellow, black, or gray bumpers, as well as two types of TAXI signs, a traditional one with the writing on the sides, and one with orange lights on the sides and the writing facing forwards. The taxis in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories are largely identical to the GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions, respectively.The Taxi in Grand Theft Auto Advance has little indication of which car it is based on, but is generally boxier in design when compared to the game's police vehicle.In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Taxi is based on the Premier, designed after the 4th generation Chevrolet Caprice with boxy style.In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Taxi is a Ford LTD look-alike.There are minor variants available, with darker bumpers and different taxi lights. In Grand Theft Auto III, the Taxi resembles a cross between a fourth generation Chevrolet Caprice and a 1992-1997 Ford Crown Victoria, with overall body design from the 1987-1992 Toyota Corona.The Taxi in Grand Theft Auto 2 is similar to a rounded Checker Taxi, with the checkered stripe crossing the roof longitudinally.įrom Grand Theft Auto III onward, the Taxi is usually based on the same model as the Police car from its respective game:
