In ''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'', and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', the car's design resembles a slightly modified and smaller {{WP|Chevrolet Chevy II|1962-69 Nova Chevrolet Chevy II Wagon}} with a simpler side panel design, taller tail lights and a different grille, but it mostly resembles a {{WP|Jeep Wagoneer|1970-86 Jeep Grand Wagoneer}}, {{WP|Fiat 1100|Fiat 1100 R Familiare}} or a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_404 Peugeot 404 Wagon] and the grille for ''GTA Vice City'' resembles a {{WP|Peugeot 504|Peugeot 504 wagon}}.
   
  +
The ''GTA Vice City'' and ''GTA San Andreas'' renditions of the Perennial come in two variations - with or without a roof rack. While the ''GTA III'' and ''GTA Vice City'' rendition feature only solid body colours, the ''GTA San Andreas'' rendition commonly features a two tone colour scheme, but sometimes it can come with an only dark blue paintjob. The roof colour cannot be changed at TransFender, but visiting [[Pay 'n' Spray]] can change the roof colour. The ''GTA San Andreas'' rendition of the Perennial has chrome side moldings in its upper body and apart from its tail lights, it looks more like its real-life counterpart when compared to the ''GTA III'' or ''GTA Vice City'' renditions of the vehicle. Also, the headlights of said rendition are less convex, opposed to the aforementioned ''GTA III'' and ''GTA Vice City'' renditions.

In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'', the car assumes a slightly newer and leaner model that resembles a {{WP|Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser}}, based on the position of the side panels and grille, but retains elements of previous iterations of the car in the rear. The rendition of the car in these games also features two tone body colors and in ''GTA Vice City Stories'', it can come with few one-color paintjobs.
The styling of the car has changed slightly throughout the games, but the performance has remained unchanged, until GTA IV.
 
   
  +
According to the [[Capital Autos]] website, the Perennial in ''GTA III'' was known as the "[[Maurice (car)|Maurice]]" early during development of the game.

===GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories===
 
In GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas, the car´s design resembles a slightly modified and smaller 1962-69 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Chevy_II_/_Nova Chevrolet Chevy II] Wagon with a simpler side panel design, taller tail lights and a different grille, but it mostly resembles 1970-86 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Wagoneer#The_AMC_years_/_ Jeep Grand Wagoneer]. The GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas renditions of the Perennial come in two variations: with or without roof rack. While the GTA Vice City rendition features only solid body colours, the GTA San Andreas rendition commonly features a two tone colour scheme, but sometimes it comes with a totally dark blue paintjob. The roof colour cannot be changed at TransFender but visiting [[Pay 'n' Spray]] changes it. GTA San Andreas's Perennial has chromed side moldings in its upper body and apart from its tail lights, it looks more like its real-life counterpart when compared to the GTA III or GTA Vice City renditions of the vehicle.
 
   
  +
===''Grand Theft Auto IV''===
In GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, the car assumes a slightly newer and leaner model that resembles a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldsmobile_Custom_Cruiser Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser], based on the position of the side panels and grille, but retains elements of previous iterations of the car in the rear. The rendition of the car in these games also features two tone body colors and in GTA Vice City Stories, it can come with few one-color paintjobs.GTA Liberty City Stories´[[Hearse]] resembles the Perennial.
 
  +
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', the Perennial has been drastically changed, and is now based on the {{WP|Honda Stream|second generation Honda Stream}} and the {{WP|Honda Odyssey|fourth generation Honda Odyssey}}. The model is mainly based on Honda models, mainly the {{URL|http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/2006_Honda_Stream_01.JPG|Stream}} and with details like windows from the {{WP|Honda CR-V|2007-2011 Honda CR-V}} and the Honda Stream. The rear of the sides and rear window are also similar to those {{WP|Mercedes-Benz R-Class}} and {{WP|Audi A4|Audi A4 B8 Avant}}. It is the only vehicle in ''GTA IV'' which has fully glassed roof, which is very reminiscent of the ill-fated {{WP|Renault Avantime}}. The tail lights loosely resembles that of a {{WP|Toyota Previa|2006 - Present Toyota Previa}}. Instead of fog lights, the Perennial sports daytime running lights, where the lights are always on regardless of time of day similar to those of {{URL|http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Acura-MDX-.jpg|second generation Acura MDX}}. The interior seating is part leather and part cloth, just like the Honda CRV.
   
  +
The Perennial is equipped with a [[GPS]] system with a female voice (male voice for the FlyUS variant), but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.
According to the [[Capital Autos]] website, the Perennial in GTA III was known as the "[[Maurice (car)|Maurice]]" early during development of the game.
 
   
  +
===''Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars''===
{| align="center"
 
  +
The Perennial in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]'' still assumes the design of its previous iterations, but may vary depending of the platform. The [[Nintendo DS]] rendition appears to resemble a {{WP|File:Plymouth Reliant Station Wagon late.jpg|K-platform Station wagon}}, while the [[PSP]] and [[iOS]] versions the Perennial is more modern and resembles a {{WP|Mitsubishi Space Wagon}}, with some styling cues from the ''GTA IV'' rendition.

==Performance==
  +
===3D Universe===
  +
The underpowered, front-wheel drive Perennial is quite sluggish. Acceleration is highly lacking, as is speed, but the handling is responsive, but quite heavy, and is prone to oversteer and rolling. It is, however, quite sturdy, and can withstand significant damage before bursting into flames and exploding. The Perennial is also easy to ram off roads, especially with large, fast vehicles such as the [[Fire Truck]] and the [[Barracks OL]].

===HD Universe===
  +
The [[Dinka]] Perennial "MPV AW" vastly improves in performance. Gone is the 3D Universe's FWD layout, ditched in favor of an RWD layout. Acceleration is now average, with a reasonable top speed. Handling is also upgraded significantly, as the Perennial no longer flops about on the road, but keeps steady. The suspension is quite firm for a vehicle of this size, and aides high-speed cornering. Braking is average. Crash deformation is below average, and as such the Perennial cannot sustain much damage before being un-drivable.

==Special Variants==
In GTA IV, likely as a joke given the Perennial's rustic station wagon appearance throughout the GTA III Era, [[File:Perennial_badges.png|thumb|Badging on the Perennial.]]the Perennial is now based on a more streamlined and futuristic-looking minivan, the [[wp:Honda_CRV#Third_generation_.282007.E2.80.932011.29|Honda CR-V]]. Even though the CR-V isn't a minivan, it is the closest thing. The rear of the sides and rear window are also similar to those a [[wp:Mercedes-Benz R-Class|Mercedes-Benz R-Class]]. It is the only vehicle in GTA IV which has fully glassed roof, which is very reminiscent of the ill-fated [[wp:Renault Avantime|Renault Avantime]], though it was a coupe and not an MPV. The Perennial also appears similar to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_Xsara_Picasso Citroen Xsara Picasso]. The taillights seem invented but loosely resemble a [[wp:Honda Accord#Seventh generation (2003–2007)|2003-2005 (US) Accord]]. The interior seating is part leather and part cloth.
 
  +
*Perennials bearing the livery of the [[FlyUS]] airline company can be found around [[Francis International Airport (HD Universe)|Francis International Airport]], [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]]. This vehicle has a functioning roof-mounted light, and cannot be resprayed at a [[Pay 'n' Spray]]. Breaking the roof-mounted light will have a similar detail of that of the emergency lights seen on V-bar sirens of emergency vehicles. Interestingly, it has ABS while the regular Perennial does not.
   
  +
<gallery position="center">
After several conclusions on what the original model of this parody is based on in GTA IV, the closest identification to be given to the Perennial (Parody) will be the [[wp:Honda_CRV#Third_generation_.282007.E2.80.932011.29|Honda CR-V]], even though it's not a minivan.

The underpowered, front-wheel drive Perennial is quite sluggish. Acceleration is highly lacking, as is speed, but the handling is responsive, but quite heavy, and is prone to oversteer and rolling. It is, however, quite sturdy, and can withstand significant damage before bursting into flames and exploding. The Perennial is also easy to ram off roads, especially with large, fast vehicles such as the [[Fire Truck]] and the [[Barracks OL]].

The [[Dinka]] Perennial "MPV AW" returns to the GTA lineup with a significant makeover, both in looks and performance. Gone is the horrendous FWD layout, ditched in favor of a rear-biased AWD layout (hence, AW). The Perennial is more than likely powered by a mid-range V6, and is coupled to a 5 speed gearbox. Acceleration is now average, with a reasonable top speed of 161 mph. Handling is also upgraded significantly, as the Perennial no longer flops about on the road, but keeps steady. The suspension is quite firm for a vehicle of this size, and aides high-speed cornering. Braking is average, and the optional (but rare) ABS definitely helps (Note: ABS seems to be standard on the FlyUS variant). Crash deformation is below average, and as such the Perennial cannot sustain much damage before being un-drivable. However in a head on crash, minimal damage is suffered in the interior.
 
   
==Trivia==
+
==Notable Owners==
  +
*[[Big Smoke]] owned a black Perennial before it was [[Sweet & Kendl|destroyed]] in a drive-by shooting.
* In GTA San Andreas, [[Big Smoke]] is originally depicted during "[[Big Smoke (mission)|Big Smoke]]" to own an all-black Perennial at the very beginning of the game, only to watch it blown up during a drive-by an enemy gang. Smoke subsequently replaces it with a [[Glendale]]. There are several ways to obtain this Perennial; after the cutscene of the [[Ballas]] destroying Smoke's car, kill them with a weapon and push the Perennial to a garage. Alternatively, enter the blow up all cars [[Cheats in GTA San Andreas|cheat]] during the cutscene where Carl and Smoke are about to enter the Perennial. You'll fail the mission for destroying Smoke's car, and he will walk off. Then push it to the garage next to you.

* When you take the FlyUS Perennial to the Pay'N'Spray, it does not change the color for it, only repairing it.
 
* It is quite possible it is called a Perennial because it is one of the older cars in the series and is still commonly found in good condition. It may also be because it has made an appearance in almost every GTA game.

Revision as of 18:32, 13 February 2020

Template:Infobox vehiclesThe Perennial is a station wagon and minivan in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV (and its episodes) and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. It is manufactured by Dinka in the HD Universe.

Design

3D Universe

In Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the car's design resembles a slightly modified and smaller 1962-69 Nova Chevrolet Chevy II Wagon with a simpler side panel design, taller tail lights and a different grille, but it mostly resembles a 1970-86 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Fiat 1100 R Familiare or a Peugeot 404 Wagon and the grille for GTA Vice City resembles a Peugeot 504 wagon.

The GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas renditions of the Perennial come in two variations - with or without a roof rack. While the GTA III and GTA Vice City rendition feature only solid body colours, the GTA San Andreas rendition commonly features a two tone colour scheme, but sometimes it can come with an only dark blue paintjob. The roof colour cannot be changed at TransFender, but visiting Pay 'n' Spray can change the roof colour. The GTA San Andreas rendition of the Perennial has chrome side moldings in its upper body and apart from its tail lights, it looks more like its real-life counterpart when compared to the GTA III or GTA Vice City renditions of the vehicle. Also, the headlights of said rendition are less convex, opposed to the aforementioned GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions.

In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the car assumes a slightly newer and leaner model that resembles a Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, based on the position of the side panels and grille, but retains elements of previous iterations of the car in the rear. The rendition of the car in these games also features two tone body colors and in GTA Vice City Stories, it can come with few one-color paintjobs.

According to the Capital Autos website, the Perennial in GTA III was known as the "Maurice" early during development of the game.

Grand Theft Auto IV

In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Perennial has been drastically changed, and is now based on the second generation Honda Stream and the fourth generation Honda Odyssey. The model is mainly based on Honda models, mainly the Stream and with details like windows from the 2007-2011 Honda CR-V and the Honda Stream. The rear of the sides and rear window are also similar to those Mercedes-Benz R-Class and Audi A4 B8 Avant. It is the only vehicle in GTA IV which has fully glassed roof, which is very reminiscent of the ill-fated Renault Avantime. The tail lights loosely resembles that of a 2006 - Present Toyota Previa. Instead of fog lights, the Perennial sports daytime running lights, where the lights are always on regardless of time of day similar to those of second generation Acura MDX. The interior seating is part leather and part cloth, just like the Honda CRV.

The Perennial is equipped with a GPS system with a female voice (male voice for the FlyUS variant), but only if the player leaves the "selected cars" (default) option in the audio menu.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

The Perennial in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars still assumes the design of its previous iterations, but may vary depending of the platform. The Nintendo DS rendition appears to resemble a K-platform Station wagon, while the PSP and iOS versions the Perennial is more modern and resembles a Mitsubishi Space Wagon, with some styling cues from the GTA IV rendition.

Performance

3D Universe

The underpowered, front-wheel drive Perennial is quite sluggish. Acceleration is highly lacking, as is speed, but the handling is responsive, but quite heavy, and is prone to oversteer and rolling. It is, however, quite sturdy, and can withstand significant damage before bursting into flames and exploding. The Perennial is also easy to ram off roads, especially with large, fast vehicles such as the Fire Truck and the Barracks OL.

HD Universe

The Dinka Perennial "MPV AW" vastly improves in performance. Gone is the 3D Universe's FWD layout, ditched in favor of an RWD layout. Acceleration is now average, with a reasonable top speed. Handling is also upgraded significantly, as the Perennial no longer flops about on the road, but keeps steady. The suspension is quite firm for a vehicle of this size, and aides high-speed cornering. Braking is average. Crash deformation is below average, and as such the Perennial cannot sustain much damage before being un-drivable.

Description

The Hearse is the funeral car variant of the Perennial of the same game, sharing the same design, but slightly enlarged and featuring two doors instead of four.

Special Variants

  • Perennials bearing the livery of the FlyUS airline company can be found around Francis International Airport, Liberty City. This vehicle has a functioning roof-mounted light, and cannot be resprayed at a Pay 'n' Spray. Breaking the roof-mounted light will have a similar detail of that of the emergency lights seen on V-bar sirens of emergency vehicles. Interestingly, it has ABS while the regular Perennial does not.

Prominent Appearances in Missions

Grand Theft Auto III

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

  • Bone Voyeur! - One prostitute can be found in an alleyway inside a Perennial.
  • Frighteners - During the mission, there are three union bosses driving around the town, one of them conducting this car.
  • Morgue Party Resurrection - A Perennial is given to the player outside the hangar after the final cutscene, so the player doesn't need to search for a vehicle to leave the aiport.
  • Bringing the House Down - The Perennial is one of the two vehicles that fall from the sky hitting three people standing at the Liberty Campus yard.
  • Car Salesman submission.

Trivia

General

  • The Perennial's name may be a reference to the fact that the vehicle reappears in the same form in various GTA games. The word "Perennial" means "lasting or continuing throughout the year".
  • The Perennial plays the following radio stations by default when entered:

3D Universe

  • In GTA Vice City Stories, during the mission Truck Stop, a fireproof and explosion proof Perennial is available.
  • In GTA San Andreas, the Ballas destroy Big Smoke's Perennial by shooting the gas tank. However, the Perennial's fuel cap is located on the driver's side, but the Ballas destroy the vehicle by shooting at the passenger side.

HD Universe

  • The LCPD police radio refers to the Perennial as an "MPV".
  • When selecting a vehicle in GTA IV multiplayer races, it is only possible to select the FlyUS version of the Perennial, rather than the civilian version, whereas the Feroci is available as civilian only.
  • Strangely, getting the FlyUS Variant to spawn in the parking lot of Francis International Airport may sometimes require entering the airport first and waiting for one to spawn on the relief roads adjacent to the runway, then turning back and heading back towards the parking lot. This same phenomenon also applies to the FlyUS Feroci.
