With edgy styling and the name FRS, people might think its an Acura... eek!

What Craig said.

Celica FR-S has a nice ring to it.

I can live with FR-S - could be worse!

Sorry but they NEVER end, there will always be unnecessary discussions, especially when it comes to cars.

The SVX was the top of the line flagship GT coupe for Subaru. I really cant see the 216a being called that.
Saying that remember the name Alcyone was also used for the JDM XT-4 and later XT-6s.

If Subaru ever tried to do a H6 4wd coupe again I would like to see the Alcyone or SVX name used again.
Subaru did a wagon concept of the SVX and called it the Armadeus.

Prehaps a new name for it...

"Hey honey, I'm taking the Furse out for a drive"

I can live with that name.

Shevon · 06-17-2010, 09:52 AM

FR-S not very original but i can live with that. I was hoping they would keep the 86 in there some how. FT-86 was fine for me so FR-86 is good too. Both have a better ring to it than FR-S.

Pretty sure you don't file a trademark for trim models.

@FR-S, meh...whatever. AE86 styled GT-V emblem being made to go on mine anyways.

mrtodd · 06-17-2010, 01:36 PM

I like the name. Also agree with what others said - it could be worse, much worse.

.....This thing is taking forever to be released. Ugh.

if this car turns out to be a dud, you can pronounce it "Toyota Farce"

Too much drama over a name, IMO.

If the car is good, people will buy. If it's FT-86, FR-S, 12-3. AB-C. don't matter. Call it Toyota Poyota for all I care.

Mazda seems to be doing alright with cars named by singular numbers.

FR-X would have been a champion
