Which trailer-spotted car are you making your first daily driver?

Vice City in an official GTA 6 screenshot

I keep going back to that beat-up Tulip from the first trailer. The four-door muscle car with the faded red paint and the mismatched panel. It's not flashy, but I think it might be the perfect starter car for Leonida. Four doors means you can haul Lucia and Jason's crew around without constantly swapping seats, and the trunk looks big enough to stash... whatever we'll be stashing. I'm curious if the suspension will actually bottom out on those dirt roads near Port Gellhorn, or if Rockstar tweaked the muscle car handling to be less floaty than GTA V. The way it squatted during that burnout shot makes me think the physics might have more weight transfer now. Anyone else picking something from the trailers, or are you just grabbing the first thing you can carjack?

I'm holding out for that Tulip. Four doors and a visible trunk appear in the first trailer (Dec 2023). The mismatched red panel and rear squat during the burnout shot are logged. I've only got two trailers to pull data from, so the handling model remains unconfirmed. The Vintage Vice City Pack comes with every pre-order, though Rockstar hasn't tied it to a specific vehicle class. If the suspension bottoms out on Port Gellhorn's dirt roads, that's just another data point. I'll grab the Standard Edition at $79.99 and keep a backup sedan spawn marked near Ambrosia.

Exactly. I'm not chasing trailer cars. I'll jack the first sedan I see downtown and head northwest toward the Grassrivers. Los Santos taught me your daily driver should survive the map's worst roads (the rutted kind east of Mount Kalaga).

I'm locking in the Tulip. Four doors are non-negotiable for any mission with AI crew. That mismatched red panel won't matter when you're hauling a full squad out of Grassrivers. I learned to prioritize trunk space early. Three Leaf Clover in IV punished anyone who showed up in a two-seater.

The Tulip's mismatched panel is pure character work. I'm keeping that faded red beater for the whole story.
