I vote for completely new model name!

i agree, ft-86 looks and sounds cool. but that is nothing like their other model names. the only other cool one is maybe Vitz.
i hope they skip supra, celica, etc. and go with something new. hell, maybe it will be like suzuki and sound like wakazashi or something nutty
just not anything scion. hah

How about "Watanabe"... like the name of the AE86 wheels and name of toyota's vice chairman.

I'm fine with it staying FT86 or some other letter/number combo, like when they named the MR2 :)

Trueno.

Since FT-86 references the 86, there's a chance the final model name will have some type of reference to it as well. I highly doubt it'll be Sprinter as the Japanese tend to be a little more creative when it comes to confusing the English speaking world with their model names.

Chances are they'll come up with a name in Japanese, punch it into google translate and slap it onto the rear of the car.

its gonna be called Celica because the window controls are in the middle and not at the driver's door :thumbup:

knock on wood

I think a new name would be the best way to go as well.
On a side note, it's nice to have some Toyota fans on this site. I feel like all I've been seeing are comments on Autoblog that say "I won't buy it unless it's a Subaru."

I really hope they go the Si route and offer it only in manual transmission. A girl at my school has an automatic celica... What is the point?

thats pretty sad... Subaru wasn't even that popular 'till like '02/'03.. unless you played the Gran Turismo series... hell i still know people that dont know its a japanese car maker

:scared0012:The door lock is not in the middle there is hope!:happyanim:

toyota roku (means 6)
though i think they have had more than 6 sport cars..

Hey that would be kinda :w00t:

What's with all the hatred towards Celicas?

The last gen car would have been quite similar to this one in terms of sharp looks, light weight, expected power output, and excellent handling and braking ... they just had the wrong wheels doing all the work... :sigh:


And even FF, they still made decent rally cars apparently... http://www.newcelica.org/forums/showthread.php?t=307183

So long as they do a good job with the gearing, why not? More sales = more likely Toyota will keep offering fun, hot cars. Aisin makes a nice 6 AT supposedly. Just an option, folks, not a mandate...

And actually, I'm pretty happy with my auto, thanks... :D
