The Vapid Stanier is a full-size four-door sedan appearing Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
The Stanier appears in the form of service vehicles in GTA IV, namely the Taxi, Police Cruiser and NOOSE Cruiser, but later appears as a civilian sedan in GTA V, where its name is established. The Taxi and Police Cruiser also return in GTA V, but under a new "second generation" appearance, alongside two additional models; the Sheriff Cruiser and the Unmarked Cruiser. Originally unnamed, this newer model would later be given the Stanier LE name after the release of The Chop Shop update.
Influence[]
The Stanier is based primarily on the first-generation Ford Crown Victoria (EN53), with influence from the second-generation Mercury Grand Marquis, as seen in the headlights and overall rear fascia, although retaining tail lights from the Crown Vic. The black panel in the rear fascia may also pull inspiration from the second-generation Crown Victoria (EN114). The front and rear bumpers appear similar to the second-generation Ford Taurus (DN5). The grille and bonnet likely take inspiration from the second-generation Crown Vic, but the grille in particular appears closer to the twelfth-generation Cadillac Eldorado or the fourth-generation Chevrolet Caprice.
Design[]
The Stanier shares its stock rim design with the Minivan. In IV, the Vapid-based Taxi and Police Cruiser share a heavy-duty steel rim design, wrapped in high-profile tyres and featuring protruding chrome centrecaps inspired by Ford's Type 146 centrecaps. This rim design is featured on several other vehicles with a similar purpose, such as the Merit-based Taxi, the Buffalo-based police cruiser, and the Police Interceptor.
Performance[]
The Stanier shares much of its handling profile with the Police Cruiser variant of the second genration. It has an above average top speed, powered by a modeled twin-cam straight-4 engine. It loses little momentum as it tackles sharp turns at speed, with noticeable body roll. Due to its RWD drivetrain, the car is also able to power-slide into corners readily.
The Stanier's performance in crashes remains stellar - being able to take multiple direct hits to the chassis, drivetrain, and suspension without failure.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The Stanier's Southern San Andreas Super Autos description references an issue in early models of the second generation Crown Victoria, which caused fatal instances of explosions and fires after high-speed impacts. This was mitigated when Ford began to offer a fire suppression system from factory.
- The website's description also references the Crown Victoria's legacy as a fleet vehicle. The Crown Victoria was widely used by police and taxicab services from the 1990s into the 2010s.
- Similar to the Gresley, the Stanier could be named after a famous locomotive engineer, William Stanier, who was best known for his designs for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- Being the civilian variant of a taxi and a police car, the Stanier effectively fills the role previously slotted by the 3D Universe rendition of the Premier, previously seen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- Strangely, a floating computer screen can be seen above the center console in the Stanier, likely an oversight during the conversion from the GTA IV Police Cruiser. This error was fixed in the enhanced version.
- Blowing up the tires of the Stanier will show invisible rims.
- In the first trailer, a Stanier with the LSPD livery can be seen pursuing a vehicle. This Stanier also had the same equipment as the version found in GTA IV, which means it was probably just re-skinned. This suggests that the first-generation Stanier cruiser may have been initially intended to appear in GTA V but was replaced later in development by the second generation Police Cruiser.
