thread_title:  Merge Subaru Loyale/1600/GL 

message: 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.

thread_title:  Major expansion/Rewrite 

message: I have started adding European references to this article, to avoid accusations of it being biased towards United States-market versions. Anyone else able to expand on this article?? --SunStar Nettalk 17:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  U.S.-centric?? 

message: 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)
thread_title: Successor

message: 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)
thread_title:  No mention of rarity.. 

message: 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)
thread_title:  3rd generation infobox 

message: I don't think so... the BRAT should be mentioned in this article, perhaps as its own section stating it was a Leone truck, but it should not be merged.  You have to think the Leone was around so much longer than the BRAT, and half of the info in this article won't apply to the BRAT, dimensions will have to be added and it will just make this article even more of a mess.  Besides, the Chevy El Camino and Chevelle are two different articles, so let's leave this one alone for a change, huh?  Sixthstar (talk) 15:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge BRAT Article? 

message: 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)
