Declasse (pronounced duh•KLAH•say[1]) is an American vehicle manufacturer featured in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Overview[]
Declasse is primarily based on Chevrolet, but it also features vehicles mainly inspired by other American manufacturers, such as Oldsmobile, AMC, and Dodge.
The outer ring of the logo may be derived from many manufacturer logos; the "D" inside vaguely resembles the central oval of the Toyota logo. The stylized "D" also resembles a penis, with the "D" proper representing the glans.
"Declasse" (déclassé with correct accents) itself means "reduced to or having low or lower status", implying that the automobiles are low-class. The French origin of the word may also be an allusion to the French origins of the real life carmaker Chevrolet, as well as Chevrolet's position as GM's entry-level marque. Alternatively, if pronounced by stressing the "de", then the name may also be a play on words of "dick-less", possibly parodying the stereotype of men that drive big trucks (Chevrolet being a popular choice) to compensate for having a small penis.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
A radio ad for the Declasse Yosemite can be heard on Blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM as part of The Doomsday Heist update.
Grand Theft Auto VI[]
In the September 2022 GTA VI leaks, an unnamed compact car and sedan appeared with visible Declasse badging, indicating their manufacturer. These vehicles later officially appeared in the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, alongside other Declasse vehicles such as the Tulip, a donked-out Tulip M-100, and the Granger 3600LX, the latter of which seems to feature a new Declasse badge resembling Chevrolet's iconic bowtie emblem.[2]
