Subaru Leone 4WD 1.8 Touring Wagon, 1982. The second generation Leone offered dual-range 4-speed 4WD transmission and manual ride height adjustment. It was Japan's first all-wheel-drive vehicle with the option of automatic transmission. This used the world's first "wet hydraulic multi-plate clutch" that allowed the driver to engage 4WD with the push of a button. The electric switch activated a solenoid that pushed the clutch plates together, engaging the driveshaft to the rear wheels.

Junkyard Gem: 1993 Subaru Impreza AWD Wagon

With Subaru finally planning to retire the 1970s-vintage Leone in the early 1990s (the very last Leones, badged as Loyales by that time, were 1994 models), a modern competitor for the likes of the Civic and Escort would be needed. That car turned out to be the Impreza, and the very first examples showed up on our shores as 1993 models. Here’s one of those first-year Imprezas, found in thoroughly…

AOT HEADCANONS

what car would they drive?

featuring: eren, jean, armin, connie, mikasa, porco, sasha, reiner, zeke, historia, ymir.

warnings: one (1) mention of marijuana, profanity. shitpost - not proofread.

gif credit

eren: silver 2002 ford taurus that has been through absolute hell and barely runs anymore. lots of dents and paint scratches, the AC doesn't work but the heating does. he invites you to hotbox in it but it smells so bad in there that you say no.

jean: dark blue 1978 GMC pickup truck (old country boy pickup truck because jean would be a romantic cowboy.) he would let you carve your name into the passenger seat with his pocket knife. he keeps blankets in the truck bed so you all can cuddle and watch the stars.

armin: volkswagen beetle/bug. self explanatory.

connie: connie has a dirt bike. he totaled his first car, which was a 1980s subaru leone that he was obsessed with. he had a new sound system with subwoofers put into it and everything. now he races around this dirt bike, which is probably not even street legal. he would offer to take you for rides on it though.

mikasa: a sexy red lexus sedan because she’s sexy. like just imagine how pretty she'd look driving around in it. always has a big pair of sunglasses and lotion in the console.

porco: new jeep wrangler, either white or an obnoxious bright color. it’s decked out with the light bar on top, bike rack, cool fenders, lift kit, and bumper stickers that say shit like "life is good." no doors, but he keeps the top on it so the wind doesn't mess up his hair. (idea inspired by @peachy-momos)

sasha: white toyota rav 4. equipt with crumbs under the seat, an ecosystem growing in her cupholder, and an entire wardrobe in her back seat. however she is very fun to go for drives with - windows down, music up, screaming lyrics to early 2000s breakup songs.

reiner: red ford f-350 pickup truck. he keeps it shiny and spotless, has like 5 air fresheners in there. it sits pretty high off the ground, so he would open the door for you and offer you his hand to help you up into it (even if you don't need it.)

zeke: 1988 blue jeep wagoneer (with the wood paneling on the side.) yes, it’s dated, it’s arguably ugly, but he loves it. he’s proud of it. he says its engine “purrs like a kitten.” he has one of those dancing solar powered figurines of a girl in a bikini sitting on his dashboard.

historia: baby pink range rover. would have a fuzzy steering wheel cover. she has cute ass keychains on her car keys too.

ymir: no car. in historia's passenger seat, playing with historia's hair and shit while she drives.

( my anxiety is telling me that this is way too simple of an idea and that someone else must have already done this the exact same way before so if that's the case lmk )

ANYWAYS feel free to reblog this and elaborate / make up your own headcanons :)

“Inexpensive. And built to stay that way”

1980 Subaru Brat GL

Developed at the request of the president of Subaru of America, the BRAT (Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter) followed the trend set by the Chevy El Camino and Ford Ranchero as half-truck, half-car. On paper, the BRAT was technically a car, which got Subaru out of an excessive light truck tariff versus that of passenger cars imported from Japan. Underneath its coupe-utility body is the heart of the Subaru Leone station wagon. Although humble in power output, the BRAT, like any Subaru, is meant to go places the average car wouldn’t dare.

Available for Patrons since February 2’nd.

Model with HQ interior, open/close doors, tailgate and functional light.

10 Forgotten Facts About The 1981 AMC Eagle Crossover Wagon

New Post has been published on https://coolcarsnews.com/10-forgotten-facts-about-the-1981-amc-eagle-crossover-wagon/

10 Forgotten Facts About The 1981 AMC Eagle Crossover Wagon

The story of the AMC Eagle Crossover wagon is an interested one indeed . It was a vehicle that possessed what was arguably probably the most advanced driving systems at the time : a proper crossover SUV with a full-time 4-wheel drive system. The anticipations surrounding the car were understandably higher. AMC, the carmaker at the rear of the Eagle Wagon , is at deep financial trouble and frantically needed the car to succeed.

Unfortunately, the buzz surrounding the particular car's debut quietened quickly plus it struggled for most of its production operate before bowing out in 1987, only a few months after the company by itself slipped into oblivion. Check out a few of the facts of this cool car that will had so much potential and could were a roaring success under various circumstances.

10 A Legit Trailblazer

through carscoops

With regards to crossovers, customers are spoilt designed for choice as the market is filled with a wide variety of crossover SUVs , all jostling for attention in the congested market space. It's a profitable market too with an increasing number of individuals jumping on the crossover bandwagon.

via hemmings

It is such a shame then which the vehicle that can legitimately lay claims to the title for the first ever all terain SUV was produced by a company that will no longer exists. The American Motor Business took a bold decision after that with the 1981 AMC Eagle All terain Wagon. Unfortunately, it was a little too past due to save the carmaker.

9 Born Out Of An Behave Of Desperation

via carscoops

The United states Motor Company was formed within 1954 as a result of what was the largest business merger in American history. It had been a true automotive behemoth with huge resources to take on the market. However from the late 1970s, that aura associated with invincibility had evaporated as well as the company was in big trouble .

via wikipedia

The fuel crisis pushed customers in favour of Japanese products that were a lot more fuel-efficient and frankly, better constructed. AMC had no fuel-efficient motor in its inventory and decided to woo customers instead by mating the 4-wheel-drive system from their Jeep with their unit-body passenger cars, ultimately creating the particular AMC Eagle Crossover Wagon within 1981.

8 In front of Its Time

via classiccars

The AMC Eagle Crossover Wagon was really revolutionary in some aspects. It was major production vehicles offered with a full-time 4-wheel-drive system. This was unlike vehicles like the Subaru Leone which a new part-time 4-wheel drive system which could not be engaged when the car had been on dry pavement.

through jalopnik

The particular AMC Eagle also had a clever 'Select Drive' system that could disconnect front side driveshaft in order to improve the car's general fuel efficiency. It was cumbersome in the beginning and required 2 hands to use but an improved system, that permitted the switch to be made while the vehicle was in motion, was introduced within 1985.

7 The particular AMC Eagle Introduced A Winning Method

via dailyturismo

With the Eagle Crossover Truck, AMC were able to demonstrate the beliefs of a compact 4x4 wagon; showcasing the fact that small unit-body vehicles with impartial front ends could endure the particular rigours of off-roading and still functionality creditably well on smooth areas.

via 4x4cars

It was not enough to save the business but they did put the lessons discovered to good use when they released the 1984 XJ Cherokee; an automobile that has gone on to outlive the particular AMC brand and continues to be extremely successful today.

6 Brand new Idea, Old Materials

through classiccars

The idea behind the AMC Eagle All terain Wagon was new and possibly ground-breaking. However , it came during a period when the carmaker was in serious monetary trouble and lacked the money for an extensive new vehicle advancement.

via cargurus

As a result, the AMC Skull cap was mostly based on an existing design in the AMC lineup. That vehicle was the AMC Concord which was by itself, a reinvention of the AMC Hornet. The Concord was produced from 1978 to 1983 and was come in up to 4 different body designs.

5 An Advanced 4-Wheel Drive System

via mecum

The AMC Eagle might have been based on the aging Rapport but the 4-wheel drive system underneath its skin was anything but outdated. It was quite possibly, the most advanced 4-wheel generate system around at the time; with a viscous coupling limited-slip differential within the move case. It was the first car along with such a set-up.

via pinterest

Interestingly, it was not wholly developed in-house. AMC engineers took the Quadra-trac program, used in the Jeep, and passed it over to UK-based Ferguson Method Developments for some extensive modifications. It was the same English outfit that labored on the development of the Jenson FF , a grand tourer which was produced from 1966 to 1971.

4 The AMC Eagle As well as the Infamous Iron Duke Engine

via pinterest

The AMC Eagle was provided with a range of engines that integrated an AMC straight-6 engine plus an inline-6 turbodiesel engine produced by an Italian company. There was the 2 . 5-litre inline-4 AMC motor that generated up to 130hp.

via silodrome

However , AMC decided to expand this particular engine options by purchasing the Metal Duke engine from GM. The particular engine has a rather unwholesome reputation for being lower on power but they were in fact quite reliable and AMC held it as part of their engine selection for several years.

3 A well-liked option

via guyswithrides

The AMC Eagle had been offered in up to 5 different body-styles as the company executives looked in order to capture as much of the market as possible. There is the 2-door coupe, hatchback plus convertible; alongside the traditional 4-door four door and 4-door station wagon.

via mecum

However , the station wagon version proved to be the most popular of the lot, through some distance too. By the time manufacturing wrapped up in 1987, about 192, 000 AMC eagles were constructed and over 113, 000 had been station wagons.

2 The AMC Eagle Did Not Decrease Quietly

via classicautomall

The company executives a new sales target of about 50, 500 AMC Eagles per year and 1st year sales of over fouthy-six, 000 looked promising. However , points took a rather dark turn since the recession bit harder and Us citizens turned way from the expensive Bald eagle in favour of more fuel efficient automobiles.

via classiccarsbay

AMC responded by presenting Select Drive that could decouple the particular 4-wheel drive to increase fuel mileage. They introduced the Iron Duke motor option and followed it up simply by launching less expensive Eagle model versions. These were all sound business ideas yet unfortunately, they ultimately proved not able to save the car or the company.

one The AMC Skull cap Crossover Wagon Outlived The Company

via tumgir

By the late '70s, the writing to the wall was clear; AMC was a company on its final legs . The automotive force that once had resources to take on Many Big Three was now grappling for straws to stay afloat in the sea of financial misfortune.

via primoclassicsinternational

Renault acquired majority interest in the business in 1979 but even that did not generate the needed momentum to obtain the company to winning ways once again. Eventually, Chrysler purchased the entire company in 1987. They did keep making the AMC Eagle Wagon for some more months though before the plug has been pulled, ending the crossover truck story for good.

Torque steer is also reduced with this type of powertrain layout since the front drive shafts are of equal length and weight.Īt the time of introduction, the Japanese and European market naturally aspirated models (1.6 and 1.8) received an unusual grille with a small central opening. The boxer design provides good vibration mitigation due to the principles of a balanced engine because the movement of each piston is largely countered by a piston in the opposing cylinder bank, eliminating the need for a counter-weighted rotating crankshaft ( harmonic balancer), but with some vibration from offsets. According to Subaru, their configuration of the engine inline with the transmission minimizes body roll due to the lower center of gravity compared with offset engines in most other vehicles. Subaru chose to continue their longstanding use of the boxer engine in the Impreza. Initial engine choices included 1.5, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engines. In late 1995, a two-door coupe was introduced. According to a Motor Trend article written March 1992 on page 26, the name of Subaru's new compact was, initially, to be called the Loyale, displaying an official photograph of the four-door sedan. The car used a shortened version of the Legacy's floor pan. Īnnounced on 22 October 1992, the Impreza was released in Japan in November and offered in either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) versions and as a four-door sedan or five-door wagon (Touring). Japanese models remain available in both configurations.Ī 2019 iSeeCars study named the Impreza as the lowest-depreciating sedan in the United States after five years. Since the late-1990s, some markets have restricted sales to the all-wheel drive model, putting the Impreza in a unique selling proposition in the global compact class, which is usually characterized by front-wheel drive. Subaru has offered front- and all-wheel drive layouts for the Impreza. Colloquially, the car is sometimes referred to as Scooby. For the fourth generation, this appearance package was renamed the XV ( Crosstrek in North America), and is sold internationally. The first three generations of Impreza were also available with an off-road appearance package called the Outback Sport, exclusive to the North American market. Since the third generation series, some markets have adopted the abbreviated Subaru WRX name for these high-performance variants. Mainstream versions have received "boxer" flat-four engines ranging from 1.5- to 2.5-liters, with the performance-oriented Impreza WRX and WRX STI models upgraded with the addition of turbochargers. The firm also offered a coupé from 1995 until 2001, and a 5-door wagon from the Impreza's introduction - this was replaced by a hatchback with the third generation. Subaru has offered 4-door sedan and 5-door body variants since 1992.
