Difference between Legnum and Galant vr4?

[sonicsoundzdj]

ok without sounding stupid whats the difference between a legnum and a galant vr4?

[steelie600]

to quote the immortal word from Twin Town, "Ones got a boot, one havent!!"

galants are usually saloons mate, dont think they did galant estate vr4s

[Turbo_Steve]

Unfortunately, yes they did!

Japanese 'grey' import: Saloon = Galant, Estate = Legnum
Ralliart official import: Saloon = Galant, Estate = Galant Estate.

That goes for all models, I believe.

Ive met an 02 plate silver galant estate round here says galant across the tailgate where mine says legnum

Is there much difference in pace between the sedan and wagon?

[Atik]

Not really much difference. Some say that the handling is firmer in the saloon due to a more rigid and lighter back end. Fit a rear strut brace in the Legnum and that will even out any difference there. Otherwise there is no difference really.

The differences that matter are: the PFL and FL bodyshape. he PFL and FL output in power (in auto), the AYC not available in the Type V, the TCL removed from the FL auto (extremely rare option though), and of course the manual vs auto.

And for a detailed explanation of the original question's answer:
The JDM market cars are badged as Galant for saloon and Legnum for estate, regardless of the trim/spec etc.
The UK market cars are ALL called Galant regardless of bodyshape. Therefore the 'official' Ralliart imports were ALL rebadged as Galant for the UK market.
The 'grey' imports that were not official from Ralliart still retain the JDM spec titles, so any grey import saloon is a Galant and any grey import estate is a Legnum in whichever spec they may be (Viento, STR, VR4 etc).

Hope that clears that up.

I think some of the official estates retained the Legnum badging. Possibly due to lazy Mitsi importers, or shortage of facelift tailgate garnishes bearing the word Galant! Which makes sense given that the official UK import was the only application for a facelift tailgate garnish saying Galant!

Righto so I've got a 96 PFL manual legnum, with AYC, I'm not missing out on some "mystery pack" with a lemon on my hands?

[Atik]

You can fit 12 bodies in the back of the estate, but only 3.5 bodies in the saloon ;)
