The Maibatsu Womb is a brand of minivan featured prominently on radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Description
While minivans are stereotypically associated with "soccer moms", the Womb is supposedly designed to cater to the sensibilities of a married man, although the nature of the Womb suggests it offers the same comforts in a mother's womb, which the minivan bases its name on. The Womb is advertised as having a cooler for beers, plush recliner seats, a television on the dashboard and a 8000-watt sound system (so as to be able to watch sporting events while driving, or, for one spokesperson, masturbate and watch pornography while driving), and an airhorn with a pull chain.
Typical to Maibatsu vehicles prior to Grand Theft Auto IV, the Womb is only featured in advertising, mainly on radio stations, and is not seen on the road.
Trivia
- This vehicle is advertised in the same way the Dodge Caravan R/T and Chrysler Town & Country Touring-S are advertised, promoting minivans to male customers.
- It could also be based on the Mitsubishi Chariot, a minivan manufactured by Maibatsu's real life counterpart at the time of the game's setting.
