The fact that I would not be heartbroken if it were badged Celica is irrelevant.
Let's not confuse wishful thinking with simply stating what has and has not been said by people who know better than us.
Someone on here said they should call it the Trueno. Funny enough, no one at Toyota has said anything like that, so there's no reason to presume such an outcome -- I'd say it's only slightly more likely to get a name like that than it is to get called the Toyota Monkey Ass Mobile.
It's unlikely they'll call it the FT-86 simply because "FT" means "future Toyota". It's possible they could keep the 86 in there but again no one has said anything like that, at least that I've read.
Speaking of concept cars, the concept car for the 7th gen Celica was called the XYR-concept, and Celica. As you know, it wasn't released as the XYR.
Show me a Toyota insider calling the production version of the FT-86 by any other name than Celica, and I'll shrug and say fair enough. What's so hard to understand here?
You guys are coming up with all of these complex reasons why Celica is appropriate or not appropriate and the bottom line is this is the only name Toyota insiders confirmed repeatedly was being considered.
Sheesh.

Good point... but really? they called it Celica? I must the missed that article. Where did you find that article said that Toyota insider calling the production version of FT-86 by Celica. I wanna read it, it sound interesting.
and hey, if they name it Toyota Monkey Ass Mobile, I'll buy this car in heartbeat!
