The Sindacco Argento (pronounced Ar-Jen-Toh) is a station-wagon featured in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
The Sindacco Argento is a station wagon with very modern design cues, resembling a first generation Audi RS6 Avant and the first version of the Chrysler Pacifica because of the tail lights and overall body shape, but the body shape also looks similar to a Dodge Magnum, even though the Pacifica and Magnum started production in 2003 and 2005 respectively, well after the events of GTA Liberty City Stories take place. The body also bears some similarities to Nissan AD (Y11). These modern styling cues result in the vehicle being anachronistic with the setting of the game in 1998. It is only available in a white color, as a result of being a gang car.
Similarly to the Cartel Cruiser, the Forelli ExSess and the Yardie Lobo, it does not have a non-gang variant. As the name suggests, the Sindacco Argento is a gang car driven by the Sindaccos, and is available in parts of the city where there is Sindacco presence.

Sindacco Argentos are commonly found in mission involving the Sindaccos, and may often be destroyed in the process of the mission:

Locations
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Early in the game, the Sindacco Argento is commonly found in parts of the Red Light District, as well as neighboring Chinatown and Hepburn Heights, in Portland, and Torrington and Newport in Staunton.
After "The Guns of Leone", the Sindacco Argento no longer spawns in Portland due to the Sindacco Family being forced out of the area; as the storyline progresses, the car will no longer appear in Newport following "Night of the Livid Dreads", and will finally vanish from Torrington after "Dead Reckoning". From that point on, the Sindacco Argento can only be found again during Firefighter and sometimes Vigilante side missions.
Trivia
General
- Argento is Italian for "Silver", possibly being a reference to the color of the vehicle (white).
- However, when taken to the Pay n' Spray and the vehicle has been "resprayed", pink paint fumes can be noticed manifesting out of the car when the door opens. This happens because the vehicle is actually set to spawn with a perpetually white texture, and it has two color schemes in the game files that involve shades of red, which can be seen in the color of the crash particles when hitting the vehicle. The Yardie Lobo shares this characteristic, as it has a set texture that is perpetually red and yellow; however, the car is set to spawn with a grey color in the files of the game.
- Just like the Forelli ExSess, it has the same engine sound and horn as the Banshee.
- The Sindacco Argento has very modern styling cues and closely resembles several vehicles from the 21st century, which is anachronistic to the setting of the game in 1998.
