What Will You Call Your 86?

You should have added ZN6/ ZC6 to the list. I reflexively call mine an "eight-six" around non-car people (don't mean to confuse them, it's just how I've come to identify the car), and will probably refer to it as the ZN6 around car-freaks.

I can't call it 86 (Hachiroku) with ease, knowing well that that is another car that I have worked with for 20 years...

For me, it will be FT86 or whatever the Japanese tuner market will call it as general referred model name.
ZN6 seems to be catching on, as that's pretty much how other cars have been named in the manufacturer side of things, by its chassis code in Japan.

My car is officially a Toyota 86, I'll call it an 86. I usually call ae86's sprinters anyway.

I posted a question about adding poll options yesterday. Still waiting for a response. I'll add those if possible.

Assuming I get a BRZ, I'll call it a BRZ. If I get an FR-S I'm gonna call it an 86, and promptly swap out the badging with Toyota badges.

As for the car's nickname? I think "Artemis" has a nice ring to it; Artemis was known as the Greek goddess of the hunt.

I will prolly call it the zed or the toyobaru, just because i love pronouncing Japanese R syllables "ru, ri, re, ra, ro"

FR-S = Front Engine, Rear Wheel Drive - Sports Car

86 doesn't mean a whole lot in America since it was called a Corolla here.

It was a Corolla in Japan too, AE86 was the chassis code which turned into the nickname.

ZN6

Seems that people are taking to this idea more than when I tried it six months ago http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3251

I will just have to wait and see what the personality brings out. I know what I would like to call it but sometimes it just just time for the personality of the car to develop a suitable name.

Looks like Christine is still available...

Yeah. Kind of tough when nobody owned the car.

Asphalt FR-S. First name that popped into my head was "Lola" so I went with that.


When I tell people what kind of call i have, i mix it up between Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86. Might start using the chassis code because I can say "Zed-N6"

I have decided to call mine "WTF" because that seems to be the consistent expression on people's faces as I drive by.

[Dadhawk]

My FR-S has been officially named "Olivia" which was also the name of my MK1 MR2 and, of course, a certain Brit-Aussie singer that I've had a crush on since the 70's.

That is a sexy name, no doubt.

Some how, that almost sounds a bit naughty.

WTF86 for specificity?

The 86 does make sweet music.

Very appropriate to the 86 roots.
