Although it is very similar to the [[Premier]], and is probably a corpoate cousin to it as well, the Elegant is larger and heavier, closely resembling an [[wp:Buick Roadmaster|Eighth Generation Buick Roadmaster]] without the rear fender skirts.

The Willard Elegant (known as Elegance in the beta) is a four-door sedan in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Design

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The car is mostly based on the Eighth Generation Buick Roadmaster sedan without the rear fender skirts and a inverted grille, which resembles that of a 1985-1988 Pontiac Grand Am. Some styling comes from the Second Generation Ford Crown Victoria, through it started production in 1998, thus making this anachronistic and likely coincidental.

The Elegant is possibly a "cousin" to the Premier, since they are similar in build.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Despite the substantial curb weight of the car, a very powerful V8 propels this rear-wheel drive monster quite impressively. Its performance attributes are very similar to those of the Premier, just on a larger frame: engine performance and handling are quite satisfying, although slight understeer is evident. This can, however, be compensated for with the E-brake around corners. Because of its mass, it cannot reach quite the same speeds as the Premier, and requires longer stopping distances. This does, however, comes with the compromise of increased durability and better ramming capabilities, and handles well in gunfights.
