btw, for those trying for japan badging... just know that its not easy to get badges in/from japan unless you OWN that car. dealers are strict about it. they ask for registration in your name. no lie.

i asked around for a fairlady badge for my in-law's 350Z while i was stationed in yoko. luckily, the guy that always helped me at autobaccs was cool and had his buddy go pick one up from the dealer since he owned a Z too. :thumbsup:

so yeah it might take a while, unless you got some good connections!

Well, I guess we will get the 86 logos and the scion logos as well ( same with Subaru)

I might just debadge the scion logos and leave the 86's on

I just hope the steering wheel has the 86 logo on it.

wouldnt that leave some weird looking empty circles on the hood and trunk though?

i have no problem with scion logos. but if somebody finds a nice fitting US available toyota badge, i might consider swapping.

I cannot share my source for a number of reasons that i wont go into this side of Tokyo...

... but i've recently had it on very good authority that the car will be Celica under the Toyota brand and only FR-S in the states. Also that the 86 logos will be dropped from the wings and steering wheel before launch :)

Just passing on what i've been told :) Im not putting any money on it myself.

Just thought i would share :thumbsup:

Nardi330 11-04-2011 08:34 PM

I'd rather fit scion and FRS badge if it is called Celica.

Yes I'm serious.

Come again? Old News?

I know they batted the celica name idea around ages ago... but this is new news that i got less than two days ago. :)

Unless you're saying it's going to be Celica for a specific Toyota market, I'd say it's not true. I mean, there's already spy shots of a Toyota with "86" in the steering wheel. And I doubt it's going to be called the Toyota 86 Celica.

As i said above, my source tells me that the 86 logos are a red herring to throw people off and that they will be ditched before launch.

I cant speak for the rest of the world but from what i've been told it'll be the return of the Celica here in the UK.
