Talk:Fugitive

Resemblance
This resembles to accord!? Bull*you known what*! Fugitive is all american, Ford Taurus and Chevy Caprice mashup, not funky hondas!


 * The Cheval Fugitive resembles the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu LT more closely than the Holden Caprice. I owned a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu and the Fugitive is too much of a close match to the Malibu. XGN Draco Vamri (talk) 06:29, March 7, 2020 (UTC)


 * The Fugitive has been in the game since its release in 2013. Thank you. Matrexpingvin (talk) 09:10, March 7, 2020 (UTC)


 * In comparing images of the 2013 Holden Caprice and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu LT to the Cheval Fugitive from GTA 2013 - present it resembles the Malibu more closely than it ever did the Holden Caprice. XGN Draco Vamri (talk) 04:01, March 10, 2020 (UTC)

 * I think you are letting the fact that you own a Malibu bias you. It looks nothing like a 2013 Malibu. The Fugitive clearly has the more squared off front end of the Caprice and the headlights are just a narrower version of the Cparice's. Most importantly, the Fugitive is REAR WHEEL DRIVE, like the Caprice. The Malibu is FWD. Also, the Malibu was never sold as a police interceptor while the Caprice was. The Fugitive is said to have a police variant according to Rockstar themselves (first trivia point on this very article). Cosmicdustjunkie (talk) 04:34, March 10, 2020 (UTC)


 * It most certainly is not a Malibu. This game was made in 2012. The Fugitive is built upon the Commodore VE with Caprice leanings. Cheval, the company that makes the Fugitive in the GTA universe is based upon GM Holden Ltd; an Australian car manufacturer that designed and manufactured the VE Commodore. The VE Commodore at that time was both the marked and unmarked vehicle used by Australian police and adopted by the united states under the Chevrolet badge. To say it is based upon the Malibu eight years after the fact is absurd. If anything, the Malibu is based upon the Commodore VE and the VF that followed. This is a VE Commodore, click full view: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/2010_Holden_VE_II_Commodore_%28MY11%29_Omega_sedan_01.jpg/1920px-2010_Holden_VE_II_Commodore_%28MY11%29_Omega_sedan_01.jpg. That's the Fugitive, clear as crystal. Flare1983 (talk) 06:07, September 23, 2020 (UTC)

Caprice
I think the Fugitive much more closely resembles the Holden Caprice not the Commodore. The wheelbase is a bit too long to be a Commodore and it's never used as a police car outside of Australia. The Caprice has. The front also looks nothing like the Commodore, but looks more similar to a Holden/ Chevrolet Caprice. The Fugitive being a Caprice also explains its placement in the sedans class as opposed to muscle. The Commodore is considered a sports/ muscle vehicle while the Caprice is a luxury sedan that still has a V8 engine. If nobody responds to this I'll just edit the page so... yeah. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong if you can come up with any evidence Jackimo1999 (talk) 13:04, April 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree, though it doesn't give an excuse for the Commodore to be removed completely from the article, as it resembles some significance of it. Add that in if you want. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 13:10, April 11, 2015 (UTC)

"Lamar Davis used to own one"
Where is it seen ingame that Lamar owns a Fugutive.. I only remember him using a Emperor and driving away in a Jackal in The Long Stretch.

Edit: I just read the last trivia, I've never heard it before in a game. I'm gonna look into this later.

Predecessor
The article claims that there are cues from the Impala (which causes assumption it's the Merit's successor), but the base is a Holden Commodore (as Cheval is Holden). The Commodore's US counterpart is the Pontiac G8 (end of paragraph one), so that would mean it's the successor to the DF8-90 (G6). I'd put that in but I'd like another opinion or two.

 * While it's factual, it's not really relevant to GTA. This is GTA Wiki; if a user wanted to know this, they could quite easily learn from the descriptions of what either car are based on, and work it out themselves. The only reason several other cars have "predecessor" "successor" mentions is because the game references them, for example, the Vacca and Infernus are referenced as brothers, like real life, and the Stirling GT's file name is "feltzer3", revealing its connection with the original Feltzer. I admit I have added Reaper to Vacca as a "spiritual successor", which was a bad move - sure, we can add DF8-90 in the related sections, and vice versa, but naming them successors isn't really relevant, unless the game references them as such.
