''Both the Levin & Trueno variants were offered with either a 2-door coupe or 3-door liftback (sometimes called hatchback) body style. Both the Levin & Trueno were generally identical, apart from fixed, rectangular headlights on the Levin & pop-up headlights on the Trueno. Minor bodywork changes were made in 1986 which resulted in different tail lights for both Levin & Trueno models, along with the coupe & hatchback styles. The models sold between 1983–1985 r commonly referred to as ''Zenki'' in Japan, & the models sold from 1986–1987 r referred to as ''Kouki''. The coupe version is considered to be more rigid & lighter version of the two''-wiki
