| The Leone was Japan's first 4WD passenger vehicle. Known as an all-weather type car, it could be switched from front-wheel to 4-wheel drive just by pulling a lever. Its release was welcomed especially by doctors and ordinary drivers who lived in snowy regions, and its originality ensured it a warm reception in the market place. |
