Schyster (BAWSAQ: SHT) is an American automotive manufacturer of mid-range vehicles in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series. The player can buy stocks from them at the Bawsaq.com website in Grand Theft Auto V.
Overview[]
Schyster is mainly based on Chrysler. However, the Deviant seems to be a notable exception, as it resembles a car produced by AMC.
The emblem appears to resemble a Plymouth badge; Plymouth was a former brand marketed by Chrysler. The logo appears to resemble a circular saw-blade, perhaps an allusion to Schyster sounding similar to "scythe". The name seems to be a reference to the word shyster, which means a person – especially a lawyer – acting unprofessionally or unethically. The logo also bears slight resemblance to Chrysler's iconic Pentastar logo. The Minivan shares the design with the Cabby, despite the Minivan being manufactured by Vapid. In the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, a green PMP 700 is seen, revealing Schyster's new corporate logo, which is reminiscent of Chrysler's Winged emblem.

Trivia[]
- Schyster's name is likely a combination of Shyster and "Scheiße (Scheisse)", which respectively, refers to a person who uses unscrupulous or deceptive methods in business, and the German word for "shit". The latter is further supported by the BAWSAQ code "SHT" and the brand being German owned.
- The term "Owned by Germans, bailed out by Americans." in the BAWSAQ description refers to the fact that Daimler, a German company, sold Chrysler in 2007.
