Leonida Profile

Declasse is the background car manufacturer of Leonida. The sedan in the parking lot. The SUV in the school run. The vehicle that ends up in every wide shot of a Vice City street because it is statistically the most common car in the state.

The brand name is French for low-class. The brand was named for the demographics it sells to and that demographic buys the cars without complaint, which is either the most practical relationship between a brand and its customers in Leonida or the most cynical. Probably both.

In gameplay terms, Declasse vehicles are the cars you get into when you need a car and the faster options are not nearby. They are competent. They are available. They do not communicate anything about the driver except that the driver needed a car and this was the car. In Leonida, that is most of the driving population.
