Sprinter Trueno Levin, really since they've never been used here. I still like Sprinter. Or GT-V! or Sprinter GT-V! |

Toyota has had a n FR coupe with 800cc flat4 engine named TOYOTA SPORT 800. Mr. Tada, chief engineer of FT-86 project team told that. TOYOTA SPORT 2000 That's it. |

I was just thinking about this yesterday(I voted for Sprinter)....What if toyota wants to re-image the Corolla name and be one of the first to bring back COMPACT RWD cars. Nobody knows if they plan to produce a sedan version of the FT. What would it compete with? The civic, mazda 3, GTI, cobalt, A3, focus, tC? Toyota would gain a big chunk of the compact market back and the only other small rwd 4-seater I can think of is the BMW 1-series. I know it's blasphemy to say what I'm saying but I hope toyota brings the Corolla name plate back from the dead. I'm retarded but I guess it's okay to dream. Right?

It would do wonders for the corrolla name but I think the corrolla name would take street cred away from the FT-86 instantaneously.

Sprinter is horrible IMO. Sure it does have some significance, it just sounds like some Transformer would be named.
Levin/Trueno are ok, but I still just like an alphanumeric name like FT86 or 2000GT or a cool sounding Japanese name like Ronin, Bushido, Katana. Something like that. Its a brand new car, so use a new name. |

But don't forget in Japan, we have random weird English car names. Like Daihatsu Move, Honda That's, Honda Vamos, Subaru Rex (even though it's Kei car), and lists just goes on.

It's possible it could be marketed in the US as a Scion, but I doubt it. I'll be surprised if it isn't sold as a Celica. And the chassis code should be TA86.
