The Idaho is a coupe featured in all games in the 3D Universe, with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It also appears in HD Universe. In the HD Universe it's manufactured by Willard.
Design[]
3D Universe[]
Depicted as a large, two-door 1970s coupe with a vinyl roof, the Idaho's styling most notably reflects a fourth generation Buick Riviera. The front more closely resembles a 1975/'76 Chevy Caprice (with added turning signals). The Grand Theft Auto Advance rendition is depicted with a dimension dissimilar to that of other Idaho's, with a shorter front end and a smoother front profile, but retaining a different top color.
The Idaho has looked virtually the same in most game it has appeared in, with noticeable tweaks and changes in minor details, mainly on its wheels and windscreens. The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition, in particular, received better detailing, but the game's rendition was not carried over to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, as it has been for most other vehicles from GTA Vice City. Instead, GTA Vice City Stories reuses the Grand Theft Auto III or Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories rendition of the Idaho.
During Auto_III development of GTA III, the Idaho was named the "Hachura", a name previously used for another car in Grand Theft Auto 2. Furthermore, one of the two rusty/burned out car wrecks that can be seen in most of the Universe 3D Universe games use a similar model as the beta version of the GTA III Idaho.
HD Universe[]
In HD Universe the Willard Idaho looks almost the same. It is a 2-door coupe taking inspiration from the 1974 Buick Riviera and the 1975 Chevrolet Caprice.
Performance[]
3D Universe[]
Due to its heavy build and soft suspension, the Idaho lacks serious performance credentials, with poor speed and steering. This places the car at a standing that is even lower than that of an Esperanto, but is still faster than a Manana. Braking is rather poor, with no ABS at all. It is in GTA III one of the only two cars (the other being the Kuruma FBI Kuruma) to actually scrape its front bumper on the ground when fully braking.
