Dinka is an automobile manufacturer in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Incidentally, Dinka is the name of an African tribe. Dinka parodies Japanese automaker Honda and Aprilia. Components of Dinka's logo are reminiscent of the letter H which predominates Honda's logo. Dinka is a play on "dink", a racial slur for Asians, especially Vietnameses.
