Subaru to be called "2000 RS"?
 

Interesting if the case. This is taken from the website automoto posted in the other thread.


Not sure what word they translated to appellation since that word doesn't really fit the translation. Maybe it meant copy-right/trademark or some other term similar to that?

Subaru 2000 RS have been known for a while. iirc they was a thread bout that already. Subaru licensed it bout same time as Toyota licensed 86 emblem

Edit: Found the site

^ I did a quick title search and nothing came up with 2000 rs. Tried a topic search but none of the thread titles made it easy to find.

Thanks. That was embedded in the 86 thread so my quick search didn't pull that up.

It's all good! :happy0180:

At least I tried :search: before I posted, right? :thumbup:

True, that's why I didn't write :search: cuz I'm pretty sure you'll search before hand.

Reminiscent of the 2.5RS?
The GC that is..or GM in this case

Could be. 2000 should stand for 2000cc which is 2.0L.

I'm waiting for a patent, seems to be the only sure way for a name.

There is this UK trade mark:

Im not sure.... RS has always stood for 'Rallye Sport'.... i dont think a RWD car is even remotely competitive in modern WRC.

Unless there is a 4WD FT86 on the horizon?

There were rumours of Toyota returning to WRC...:iono:

Would be great to see a 300bhp 4WD FT86......i'd love to see GT-Four on the back of a new Toyota again :)

Its like what I posted over a year ago.

Don't expect this car, and now with the new information since last saying this, the Subbie variant to be AWD. Instead, you could expect the R&D behind this chassis and car to spawn a new wave of Toyota sports car's, one of which, especially when their collaboration with Subaru, could easily be the revival of Celica and the GT-4 (All-trac here in the U.S.) trim.

I mean, its completely plausible, especially considering Mr. Toyoda said this was "just the beginning".

Sadly I missed that part too. I was more interested in the part about the Boxer logo :bellyroll:.
Thanks for reminding us Ichitaka!

You are welcome. Any time. :party0030:

And of course, thank you too tranzformer :thanks:.

I was just messing with you.;) Ichi and Hachi are the ones that make this site what it is. :thumbsup:

Oh wow, thanks for the tip. I stand corrected. :bonk:

No worries. It seems like there is information overload at this point, hard to keep up with everything going on with Toyota/Scion/Subaru. This is the first car I have followed from concept to production, so it sure is nice to have each other to fill in the gaps of into. :thumbsup:

Looks like we will find out about the Subaru version at Tokyo as well according to motorauthority. Full version to debut at Tokyo along side Toyota? If it is a joint program makes some sense to debut at the same time. Then supposedly Subaru will begin production in the spring with them coming shortly after to the USA. So early summer still seems like their time frame.

^taking my credit tranz? LMAO

Yeah for sure. Stole that biznaz right from you. :)

You guys realize Hachi changed the forum sub heading from Subaru 216a to 2000rs. Must have just happened recently. Just saying. :)

I saw this on Nasioc this morning.

Look at post #638

Rumors that this will be called "2000 RS" any truth to that?

Quote:

well that was a consideration at one time and only a few people knew that... but no, that isn't the name.

saw that too.

wonder what they could name it then? i guess people gotta keep trolling trademark office databases...

edit: ive been poking around a bit
2000 RS is a FHI registered trademark in the UK, EU, australia, and NZ
nothing in the US yet. japan's trademark website was tricky...any japanese speakers able to help?

I wish it will have a better name than this. Don't disappoint me Subie!

:popcorn:

I put a message on Hachi's visitor page about that very same message.

He changed it back to Subaru 216a forum.

Coincidence, I think not!

I hate to even bring this up now that the forum subtitle keeps changing, but SOA Blog says the internal chassis code is not 216a, but AS1.

"there's probably a good reason for that - engine placement is critical in a car like the new AS1 (our internal code) http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/imag...lies/smile.gif"



As for what the name will actually be, 2000RS was good, but i guess it would be tough to put a FB25 in there later on (which I hope they do). 2500RS doesnt exactly roll off the tongue.

Personally, I don't care about the name (and i'll get the Subaru version unless the Scion version is undeniably better). I'll always call it the Toyobaru :happy0180:

Subaru can call it "Look at me i'm a toolbag for buying a car with such a terrible name" and I, hand on heart, would still buy it.

I thanked you for being the nub you are. :bellyroll:

Next time though :search:.

Actually I did search maybe you should read all the posts in the thread first before commenting?:bonk:
