Design and Performance

The Vapid Chino in GTA V looks very similar to the Virgo. The design of this vehicle is based on the 1966 Lincoln Continental. The front of the Chino has the grille extending to both sides of the car, also running over the headlights. The circular headlights are placed under the grille, however, the main part of the grille is only limited to the center portion. Below this is a bumper on which rectangular fog lights can be seen. The mirrors of this vehicle are also rectangular which adds to the vintage look of this car. The bumpers and a few details on the sides like handles and mirrors are chrome plated.

The tail lights on the Chino have a very different design mostly found only on vintage cars. The brake lights, turn indicators, and vertical strips are placed on the left and right edges of the rear end of the vehicle. The reverse lights are placed on the rear bumper, on either side of the plate.

(The interior of the Chino as seen from outside the car)

The Chino is a vehicle built to look good and may not have the best performance. Its top speed is the lowest in its class but it has really good handling. The Chino is a heavy vehicle and thus may not be able to reach high speeds, but the control is really good and this vehicle can be easily corrected when there are chances of spinning out. If you only want to cruise around the streets of Los Santos or even Blaine County, this vehicle is a good choice.

Trivia

Chino is the name of a small town in southern San Bernardino County, California. This area is the inspiration for areas such as Paleto Bay and Bolingbroke Penitentiary.
Chino pants, particularly khaki, were a common piece of apparel among Latino gangbangers in 1990s Los Angeles. The Chino is one of the cars to be customized in the Lowriders update, which pays homage to this culture.
In its description, it is mentioned as being the choice of statesmen. This is most likely a reference to the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, whose presidential limousine was a Lincoln Continental. Kennedy was traveling in this limousine when he was assassinated in 1963. The description also mentions tennis and sexual promiscuity, which Kennedy was also famous for.
The default station of the Chino is East Los FM.
