Subaru it is, air cleaner location is a give-away for the rare flat four & FWD-layout only used by Lancia and Subaru.

Bonnet inside is 100% Subaru, A-posti is a match so yes: 1st generation Subaru Leone from early 1970s for sure.

If you are going to make sweeping statements like that, at least check first. Citroen, and Alfa Romeo, come instantly to mind.

It still is a Subaru, like it or not.

Subarus are not generally on my radar, but the images compare well for windscreen, inner bonnet ribs, spare wheel and air cleaner here...

Positive result when compared with a picked-at-random under bonnet image of a Subaru 1400 1973

Fine, the point is that your statement was incorrect, both the Alfasud and the Citroën GS and GSA had 4 cylinder boxer engines and front wheel drive, so that system is not exclusive to Lancia and Subaru.

There were also the Cemsa-Caproni cars, from which the Lancia design emerged, and the Dolo JB-10 of which very few were built.

Hmmm... the Cemsa-Caproni... Sweet memories! Too bad they skipped that 3-cylinder radial engine shown in that Antonio Fessia concept in Turin in the late 1940s.
