There is four articles all covering the same car. If no one has any objections, they will all be merged into this article. --Mikeshoup 19:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The old version of this article had no really verfiable information. Also, the article did not do a decent job of covering the entire Leone line. With no objections so far, I'm continuing my rewrite of the article. I will post more of my sources of information. --Mikeshoup 19:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have started adding European references to this article, to avoid accusations of it being biased towards

I don't think it's correct to list the Justy as a successor, especially since they were being made side by side. I would believe the Impreza should be listed because of size. Sixthstar (talk) 13:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to add now that the Legacy was not a replacement for the L-Series. The Legacy has always been Subaru's larger, more luxury vehicle intended to compete with the Maxima and Camry. Where as the Leone/Loyale was a more compact vehicle meant to compete with the Corolla and Sentra and etc, the same class the Impreza competes with now... therefore, Successor.

I did not spot the dual range transmission mentioned. One of a kind, worldwide, since the dawn of autos...as if the driveline by subaru wasn't one of a kind already. The dual range transmission ought to be mentioned. Also, not needing to be a master mechanic to take note this generation of subarus has the 3 main bearing boxer built with standards into aviation. solid state crankshaft, 2 valve heads, non-destructive engines. As a mig welder of the 3rd gen for 12 years now, there are extremely notable differences in the Loyale and GL drivetrain mountings, some are hazard for the GL.The gl fuel filler is plain old rustworthy iron,the car has been hit by lightning more than once. The loyale has a safer version, GL inner inner rear control arms, rear crossmember are under more strain. All become a hazard in places that actually drive the automobiles. The Dual Range version also has a strengthened belly pan, admitted by subaru or nor not, there are substructures doubled throughout the car (hence the crossmember and control arms in the rear failing) it has a different position for alignment of rear wheels in the wells, extended farther back than a loyale,somewhere inbetween an RX (full extended) and a loyale (A loyale is very tucked and bolted differently- loyale "cheated" to a safe spot without strengthening the GL version, even if it meant the misalignment. If one has ever put a lift kit in a loyale, you will see it looks really out of place, this is the reason. the GL can lift without the misplacement of wheel in well. Another notable difference is the 13 inch wheels on a GL, they are tucked inside the wheels more than a loyale, 15x6 inch rims make it another normal. My own gl is proven several inches wider than a loyale (again no admittance by Subaru), they take all the same panels as loyale. ~soob792~ 20:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bgd73 (talk • contribs) ~soob792~ 16:15, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox at that section has grown too large, do we really need exact measurements of every variant? Perhaps it's not Wikipedia's point to be that accurate in simple infoboxes, maybe we just could have one or two main measurements or the value given as "1335 - 1415 mm" for example. --Pudeo⺮ 21:46, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any idea what GL stands for? I am guessing "Grand Luxe"? This is based on Peugeot and Volvo using the designations "Grand Luxe" and "Deluxe" in the 1960s. Coemgenv (talk) 13:55, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Automotive trim nomenclature states that GL can mean "grade level" or "grand luxe". OSX (talk • contributions) 15:01, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply
