The Manana (pronounced Ma-Nya-Nah, from Spanish mañana, meaning "morning" or "tomorrow") was originally a compact two-door coupé/city car first introduced in GTA III, and appears in every game since then. It is manufactured by Albany in the .
For the Manana's Grand Theft Auto III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: Vice City Stories appearances, the Manana resembles coupé variants of a Dodge Aries/Plymouth Reliant K, with the rear fascia of the third-generation Pontiac Grand Am. At one point during the development of GTA III, the Manana was known on the Capital Autos website as the "Ariant", an evident portmanteau of the Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant names, strengthening this influence. The GTA III rendition in particular also appears to take its headlights and grille from the European Ford Escort Mk. III.
The overall profile of the Manana remained the same in GTA: San Andreas and , while additional redesigns and influences were also included. In GTA San Andreas, the Manana assumed a more aerodynamic profile, resembling a Dodge Shadow or Plymouth Sundance, with similarities to the 1988-1994 Ford Tempo front fascia and the 1986–1987 Buick Riviera rear.
In GTA: Liberty City Stories, a rounder 1990s style convertible body design was used, resembling a 1995-1999 Chevrolet Cavalier convertible with some influence taken from the 1993 Fiat Punto convertible.
The Manana underwent a complete redesign in the HD Universe. In general, the vehicle bears a resemblance to the 1967–1970 Cadillac Eldorado, though it features a more contemporary design. The front fascia is similar to that of the 1975 Buick LeSabre, but with the front bumper derived from the 1976 model. Additionally, the front may have drawn some inspiration from the 1974–1975 Dodge Monaco. The car's side profile appears to draw inspiration from the 1977–1979 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. The rear bumper seems to combine elements from both the Eldorado and the 1968–1969 Buick Skylark, with the license plate relocated to the boot, which somewhat echoes the sixth generation Imperial. The tail lights may have been inspired by either the 1975 Dodge Coronet or the 1970 AMC Rebel "The Machine".
The exception to this design is its appearance in , where the Manana assumes a four-door sedan design reminiscent of the 1965–1970 Cadillac Sedan de Ville in its appearance.
