For my reference yes, but thats actually the beauty of the name I gave. It pokes fun AND pays homage at the same time.
I think some people have me mistaken. I have nothing against celicas. I absolutely adore the RA65 series (and would have one if I had money, without a doubt). But I'm an AE86 nut. Toyota says "here's a new car inspired by the AE86!" and then they give it a name that pays absolutely no homage to the 86 at all?
You gotta think of it from out of that perspective. Imagine, if you would, if Ford actually DID make the Probe the new mustang? Mustang enthusiasts would've been PISSSEEDD.
