Toyota Sprinter
 
So the old ae86 was called this in oz, what you think the chances are that it will be called this again?

I am hoping its high cause i just bought the domain - WWW.Toyotasprinter.com and the .com.au is still ava (cost too much to buy if it won't be called this)

Thoughts?

I dont think its likely but all the best ;)

Slide 10-18-2011 07:46 PM

Why not i think its more likely then celica...

Considering this would be a 2nd gen sprinter?

Cause it wasnt called a corolla sprinter(like the other model sprinters)

Because I think Toyota is trying to start fresh, despite what we all may think about the old AE86 references, that is what I believe they are just references, I also think that most of the 86 talk is to get hype, however I would love to be proven wrong. This is an entirely new car - taking inspiration from the 86 - IMO and I think they will give it a new name.
Obviously all the above is complete speculation and opinion.

I agree with farugah, though who knows; could be wrong. Hoping in your case that it is, would make a fair bit out of that :)

Toyota can call it whatever they like, it's still a Subaru.

If it was to be called that, Toyota would already have that domain.

Guess so.

It's all a wait and see game:(

I reckon it's more likely to be called the Celica here. Sure the last gen was a bit of fail but there was a huge family before that which was full of win.

It'd be cool to have an original name though, I must admit. Toyota Phoenix anyone? (mythical creature that rises from the ashes seems to be quite a decent analogy for this car)

Sprinter for the win......

peanut 11-01-2011 10:11 PM

i just hope its not called the Celica :)

Andy 11-01-2011 10:29 PM

Only name I was is "FT-86" or my ideal name "2000GT" Back to the proper classic Toyota Name!!

Slide 11-02-2011 01:55 AM

Nah 2000GT can not be used again!!!

FT means feature Toyota so that cant be used....

86 is fine!

Sprinter is better :P
