NOTE: I AM COMPILING YOUR THOUGHTS IN THIS FIRST POST

Let's see how we do. Here's what I've figured out so far:

Vincent: Mitsubishi Galant
Solair: Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable wagon
Banshee: Dodge Viper GTS
Comet: Porsche 997
Patriot: Hummer H2
Coquette: Corvette
Feroci: Toyota Echo? More likely it's a 2002 Saturn LS.
Stallion: 1971 Ford Mustang?
Perennial: Honda FRV
Roman's Taxi: Lincoln Mark VII
Feltzer: Mercedes SL
Super GT - Aston Martin DB9
Infernus - Lamborghini Murcielago
Turismo - Ferrari F360
Sultan RS - Subaru Impreza WRX
Sabre GT - Buick Gran Sport GSX
Dukes - 1969 Dodge Charger
Vigaro - Chevrolet Camaro SS
Futo - Toyota Corolla GT
Blista Compact - Honda CRX
Ruiner - Pontiac Firebird
Fortuna - Ford Thunderbird
DF8-90 - Dodge Intrepid
Presidente - Cadillac SLS
Cognoscenti - Bentley Continental 4-door
PMP 600 - Chrysler 300C
Oracle - BMW 7 Series
Intruder - ???
Hikumi - ???
Lokus - ???
Sentinel - BMW M3 E46
Premier - ???
Manana - Cadillac Eldorado
Virgo - (in the previous GTA3-based games this was a 1973 Lincoln Continental... haven't tried one out in GTA4 yet)
Peyote - Ford Thunderbird
Voodoo - Buick Special
Huntley Sport - Land Rover Discovery
Landstalker - ???
Cavalcade - Cadillac Escalade
Rancher - Chevrolet Silverado
Cavalcade FXT - Cadillac Escalade EXT
Bobcat - ???
Contender - ???
Burrito - Chevrolet Van
Moonbeam - (in the GTA3 games, this was an old Chevy Astro)
Pony - (in GTA3, this was a Dodge Sprinter - American cousin of the Mercedes Sprinter)
Speedo - ???
Dilatente - Toyota Prius

BIKES
PCJ 600: Honda CBF600
NRG 900: Ducati 999r

OTHERS
The city buses are Orion Vs
The subway cars look like R62As
The Maverick helo is a Bell JetRanger
The Annihilator helo is an MH-60 Blackhawk

I'm sure at least one of the cars is an Infiniti G37.

The sedan taxis are Ford Crown Victorias and Chevrolet Impalas. The MPV taxis are Chevrolet Ventures.

Likewise, the police cars are either Crown Victorias or Impalas.
FIB Buffalo - Dodge Magnum
NOOSE Patriot - Hummer


Dudley: They don't do a Boxter with a roof - that's the Cayman.

Gazchap: There are two very WRC-alike cars... but I think the Sultan is meant to be a new Impreza while I saw another in multiplayer which I would have sworn was an Evo but it had a very STI-esque sticker on the spoiler which made me think it was an older (original shape) Impreza.

Thanks for the input guys, maybe we could turn this into a list for GameFAQs?

The Dilattente (spelling?) is the Prius in GTAIV.

The Sultan RS looks like a Mitsubishi Evo.

Isn't the Bobcat a Toyota Hilux or something? I'm rubbish with 4x4s.

There is also a Mercedes S-Class (6 litre V12) in there but I am buggered if I can remember what it is called.

Oh and the Landstalker Sport is a Range Rover Sport....
