WHERE are my FAVORITE CARS?

[paidmonk]

I know this topic is a bit unimportant, but it's NEVER been done - WOOHOO!!!

 

Okay, where the hell are Karuma and Blista??? Karuma and Blista from GTA3 were the best frickin' cars EVER!!! Well, Blista was the ONLY mini-van in the GTA series, it was lame, but where is it, and Karuma was identical to a Dodge Stratus or Honda Civic, where is it? You started the GTA3 in a Karuma, now where did it go??? I thought that it didn't fit in with GTA Vice City because the 80's didn't have tiny sports cars, but I thought San Andreas would revive that!! HELP, where are KARUMA and BLISTA???

Because they are 21st Centuary modals. As you know GTA SA was set in 92' while GTA3 in 2001. The Kurma was probably release in that year thus making the blista and Kurma uninvented in 92 and 86. Simple.

There is a Blista Compact in SA.

 

Also, the Merit in SA looks a bit like the Kuruma.

 

As GTA3 and Vice and SA are set in different time periods, the vehicles are going to be different. Don't worry; there are plenty of vehicles to find in SA, if you're new to the game.

Paidmonk, don't take any offense on this; but I think if we're talking about looks, the cars in the previous two GTAs were terribly rendered regardless of their type. The cars in SA look more realistic with smoother shading, texturing,etc., plus they're more durable than in GTA3 or Vice city. Just take one of the really sporty ones in SA like Infernus, Banshee, Washington,etc. and I'm pretty sure you'll get to like them more than a Karuma

The guy who said Merit and Karuma are the same, WTF!!! Merit in SA looks like a late 90's Mazda 626, and a Mazda 626 is a large sedan, Karuma was a tiny little Honda Civic '93-96 looking car...(hopes he's not sounding nerdy!)

 

Sure, SA has MANY MANY MANY cars, but I ONLY drove Karuma in GTA3, and that was my lucky car for every mission, yeah, Playa Hate on me all ya like!!

 

For the dude who said, "They didn't make Karuma-type cars in the early 90's", there were Honda Civics in 92, and 1992 was the year that Honda changed the look of their Civic from a boxy 80's form to a 90's circular compact form...look up 1991 and 1992 Honda Civics on cars.com research area and you'll see the difference, I am THE car guy!

GTA LCS also had both and it was set in 1998, just poinitng it out.

Get GTA: LCS? I'm not shelling out $250+tax for a PSP, and definately not for good ol' Karuma, I just paid for a 30G video iPod, I'm running dry! This is no big problem, but I really did like Karuma...those frealoading, inconsiderate, inhumane, monstrous, horrendous bastards at Rockstar, why I oughta...
