but you're right, this confirms NOTHING. who cares what they call it... i am more interested in CONFIRMED leaks about price and weight.
So you have the marketing analysis to back this up? Have you done focus groups?

I see you've also done polling all over Europe to find out what they prefer.

You can't say most people feel the same way you do, because you have no idea. The people who frequent this forum are probably .00001% of the Global market. More likely not even that. So yeah people who come here are going to feel strongly about what it's called, etc. But we are far outweighed by people who aren't that interested in the name or what brand it is.

Still cracks me up people whining about Scion though. It's like people in Australia whining they have to buy a Holden instead of GM.

The problem is, we get retards here putting chevrolet bagdes on their holdens thinking its 'fully shick bro'. However im opposed to calling this a celica, but thats because in my mind a celica is a FF car (I wasnt around when they were 4WD and FR)
Rofl that's awesome.

Even if they never went FF, there's nothing about this that says Celica. Other than they are both sports cars. But by that logic you can call it the Toyota Viper then.
