Regina



The Regina is a station wagon appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and in the GTA IV expansion, The Lost and Damned.

Design
The Regina in the GTA III Era resembles a 1984-1988 Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon (the placement of the wood panels and the chrome on the bottom of the sides) with a mid-80's Pontiac Parisienne-like grille and the shape of the hood and how the front is pointed look similar to many 70's Cadillacs. Unlike all those cars, the Regina is front wheel drive.

In The Lost and Damned, the Regina is designed as a 1960s station wagon with aftermarket wheels and low ground clearance. The car's sides resemble those of 1960s GM B platform station wagons, for example the 1966-1970 Chevrolet Impala, or 1965-1969 Pontiac Bonneville. The taillight and rear chrome design resemble that of the 1965 Pontiacs especially the Bonneville station wagon; the front loosely resembles most 1961 Pontiac models.

Performance
Acceleration is modest, and speed is severely lacking -- with the Regina's front-wheel drive powertrain, the underpowered V8 struggles to move this behemoth. Handling is sluggish, the car suffers from obvious understeer, and the brakes do a barely acceptable job of slowing the enormous chassis. The Regina is not especially sturdy, nor capable of withstanding heavy damage, and is a generally undesirable vehicle.
