-   -   Toyota 86 to be the name for FT-86? (https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=656)

I like the suggestion that the 86 might be a throwback trim level. Maybe a "limited edition". The Toyota FR-S 86 Edition. I mean everyone knows how sick the "panda" paint scheme looks on the FT-86. Maybe it's a way for Toyota to bank on that and sell a few FR-S's with a special drift/track package?

for the love of...

toyota knows how to put my balls on a vice grip, let me tell you.

My guess would be either a special edition or they wanna name it FR-86 and FR-86s for turbo version

^ Because, for people who aren't ardent Toyota fanbois, the name "Corolla" means something VERY different from anything sleek, sporty, 2-door, rwd, exciting...

It's not 1985. Nowadays a Corolla is just a small, cheap car with suprising interior room.

yet the corola sportivo has a 2ZZGE and will whoop alot of other small hatches on the rd.. the levin is still released in australia as well as sportivo.. and its not the best looking car, at least it is better looking than the new wrx or lancer hatch... and change the toyota fanboi to a general car enthusiast.. it makes more sense to drop it under corollas name than celicas name..

no and not really.

Agreed^

The Corolla has moved away from being sporty. The Celica..while it isn't that sporty, still has a better sports image than the Corolla.

Same could be said about the 86 number. Hell, I'll even admit that I didn't know a thing about chassis codes until I watched Initial D.

Toyota's registered the trademark "86" as a possible name for the upcoming Toyota FT-86 sports car, possibly dropping the alpha for plain old numerics.

There are more rumors about the highly anticipated Toyota FT-86 than there are actual facts. The gossip's ranged from imminent redesigns to less-than-imminent production and even a Solara-like future. And the name?

Toyota "86's" The "FT"Toyota has already registered FT-86 and FR-S, so it's possible that the company is just covering its bases with the June 18th American filing of "86." Or maybe Toyota's trying to reach back to a time in their history when they built cars like the AE-86, which were known for performance, not persistent recalls. - http://jalopnik.com/5580452/toyota-86-is-the-new-ft+86

will be dissapointed and surprised

I don't know how Toyota could use the 86 badge on this car. Isn't that part of the chassis code for the old Corolla? The FT is a new chassis so it wouldn't make any sense calling it "86" or using "86" would it? It would need a new chassis number. "86" might be a package designation or part of one but that's probably it...

Ooooh! The FR-86 sounds like a nice combination of past history and modern naming methodology.

I'm going to change my personal vote to this name.
