Question about the nomenclature..
 

I had a question I know the 86 designation comes from the famed AE-86. But I see some people call it the 086 (adding an 0 in front) or sometimes 086a (adding an a after the 86).

Does anyone know what the 0 and a mean and why some people use those terms and some dont?

Thanks!

It's just a unique chassis code. They've been using it for the Subie version too. FT-86 is particualr to Toyota, meaning "Future Toyota - 86"

So even after both cars are produced and get their unique names people will basicaly refer to both cars together as "086a" ?

Nah, there'll probably be a unique subie and toyo code. This is just for the prototype.

I wonder what names both companies will give the cars. More interested in what Toyota names it.

Anything but Celica.... Please anything but Celica.

+1

I think they should just name it the FT86 (even if the FT stands for future toyota), people are going to be used to it by then and I like the "86" reference.

+2. If I hadn't read that FT only meant 'future toyota' I would have thought this was the official name for the car and I thought it was a brilliant name. They really should keep the FT86 name. This car is going to be an absolute smash at the Tokyo show and they should keep the continuity of the enthusiasm and name.

I say Sprinter. :p

That would be disappointing. If they were to name it anything with a heritage it would have to be Corolla since the concept is obviously a reference to the AE86. But the Corolla name isn't exactly sporty right now and the car looks nothing like a Corolla, so that's unlikely.

They should name it something completely new. AE Coupe would probably be cool.

What's a Sprinter?

Badge it as the corolla trueno :D or just Trueno GT-S

It'll probably be a "Celica" or get a brand new name. Hell, it might even wind up being a Scion (**retch, vomit, choke**)

God I would rather it be a Celica.
