- "Toyota FR-S" doesn't roll off the tounge like "Scion FR-S". Too many syllables in "Toyota"

- "GT-86" has always been a little odd because the car is far from a G.T. "GT" in the case of the global version refers to a trim level anyhow. The car is an "86".

-"86" seems to be best in the spirit of the car, but kind of restricts it to a square 86x86 bore & stroke.

- "FT-86" was the name of the concept. Doesn't "F" stand for "Future". Doesn't really make sense either.
86 restricts the engine bore x stroke? 86 pays homage to the spirit of the AE86, less so the borexstroke.

Never liked GT86 either, but I bet it's what we end up with.

Let FR-S die with the brand, it won't be a Scion anymore.
