American classic the Chevrolet Camaro is second on the list (Far Cry, Dead Rising 3 and The Sims).

A more unusual vehicle makes it to fourth place – the Chevrolet Step Van is a type of truck that has a number of uses from delivery trucks to SWAT vans. The van has been featured in games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and Twisted Metal.
