As for if they name it 'Alcyone', I don't know how many SVX owners would care. SVX was not a big seller here and maybe they would see it as a respectful tribute?
But in all honesty I doubt it will be named 'Alcyone' either, I just like the name and the history with Subaru. Maybe there's another star in the 'Seven Sisters' constellation that they could name it after?

You know, we can disagree with each other, but I have only seen the vid in the Nur track Subaru ver of FT86c and it was just hunk of Impreza welded together without spec of AWD or RWD. There's millions of rumor bout it, so let's wait til official Subaru ppl gotta say.

Anything car-suitable?

If Subaru gonna bring another car into their production line, I'll vote for Maia or Celaeno

FR-86 sound better... but at the same time, 86 was FR, so I don't see any reason for them to put FR in front of 86
