The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, actually appearing like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Willard (manufacturer)|Willard]] [[Faction]]. It resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Monte Carlo#Fourth generation|1983-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS]] (the other models have different front ends), the front end resembles a [[wp:Dodge 600|1983-1985 Dodge 600]] more so than the Monte Carlo SS but could be meant to emulate the front of the Monte Carlo SS. It features decals on the sides (somewhat like the Monte Carlo SS) reading: "Sabre 550SS". There doesn't appear to be a base model of the Sabre but the [[Tahoma]] from GTA San Andreas is based on the standard Monte Carlo however it has been made into a four door. | The [[Declasse]] Sabre in GTA IV is more modern, resembling an '80s muscle car, actually appearing like a "corporate cousin" of the [[Willard (manufacturer)|Willard]] [[Faction]].

The Sabre is one of a range of cars that can be found [[Wrecks|in total disrepair]] in GTA IV - rusted out versions of it that spew huge clouds of brown exhaust and backfires randomly, as well as featuring junky bodywork, rusting metallic parts, occasionally missing headlights and radiator grills, and jutting exhaust pipes. The beater Sabres also have vastly inferior performance. | The Sabre is one of a range of cars that can be found [[Wrecks|in total disrepair]] in GTA IV - rusted out versions of it that spew huge clouds of brown exhaust and backfires randomly, as well as featuring junky bodywork, rusting metallic parts, occasionally missing headlights and radiator grills, and jutting exhaust pipes. The beater Sabres also have vastly inferior performance, with a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph). | ||
There is also a [[Sabre GT]] in GTA IV, but is based on an older version of the car, and looks more like the previously featured Sabre, this is awkward since both Sabres emulate Chevrolet SS vehicles, yet only the older one bears the GT trim level. | There is also a [[Sabre GT]] in GTA IV, but is based on an older version of the car, and looks more like the previously featured Sabre, this is awkward since both Sabres emulate Chevrolet SS vehicles, yet only the older one bears the GT trim level. | ||

Acceleration is good, although not impressive; and its top speed of 155 km/h (96 mph) is relatively the same as [[Ruiner|other]] [[Faction|vehicles]] in its class. Due to the heavy frame and very soft suspension, the Sabre has a tendency to flop about in turns, making oversteer common. The suspension is pillow-soft, and thanks to it, the Sabre practically lollops through turns, with a vague and numb sense of direction. Braking is fair, though without ABS front wheel lockup is common. | ||
[[Vehicle Damage|Crash deformation]] is very good, and the Sabre can still take many direct hits before failing or catching fire. | [[Vehicle Damage|Crash deformation]] is very good, and the Sabre can still take many direct hits before failing or catching fire. | ||
