Talk:V-STR

The Meaning of the Name
The V-STR name seems to derived from the CTS-V, but I just can't figure out the meaning. Anyone knows? S-424 (talk) 17:07, February 19, 2020 (UTC)


 * Why would you assume there is meaning to it? They just picked some different letters. To which I will add that the latest trivia edit is some wild, baseless speculation that doesn't belong on the wiki. Cosmicdustjunkie (talk) 19:16, March 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * This &uarr; As much as I like this wiki and find it an excellent source for information from all GTA titles, the real-life comparisons in vehicle articles can be pretty cringy.

 * Answering S424's question: Well, "CST" stands for "Catera Touring Sedan" and the "V" denotes the V8/V16 powerplant of the real car, so I assume that "ST" may stand for "Sedan Touring" and "V" denotes its powerplant. "R" may stand for "Roadster" or "Race", given the sporty design and the race-themed liveries and customization options. It is more or less a comparison in a similar manner to aircraft's designations (given that there is no actual in-game source for them). -- Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 22:34, March 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * PS; do not include it in the page; the other two inputs above was enough to remove the trivia point, so that's just my guess. -- Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 22:34, March 25, 2020 (UTC)

Resemblance
The headlights look nothing like a Mercedes CLA. The shapes are not even remotely similar. And the grille shape is not very different from the CTS. Resemblence to a Mercedes is most likely coincidental. Occam's Razor, people.


 * While I do agree the headlights are not based on the CLA, they are based on the multibeam led headlights fitted in the pre-facelift C-klasse (w205). Bsathefirst (talk) 23:47, April 3, 2020 (UTC)2015-mercedes-benz-c-class-front-three-quarters-in-motion.jpg
