Default The Karin Dilettante - Hybrid
looks like a Hybrid also made it into GTA IV, and Rockstar did a good job giving it a nice name

Can't wait! Definately writing off a few weekends with this one.

Can you explain the name though?

hmm well Karin stands for itself i guess, it's a german name.

and Dilettante is is a bit of a mess up of the word "Diletant" which is german too. it means "seriously bad amateur" in a rather negative way. imo the name is quite funny

They should have just called it a Prius. Toyota would love the publicity!
