Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with it being called Celica worldwide (what do you care, it's going to be a Scion in the US) but I'd prefer it to get a new unique, sensible name. That being said, it's not about whose "heritage" it has, rather, which label can get more people to come into the showroom to check it out. Sorry, Corolla != sports car.

Really, and you're basing this on....? You're worldwide polling of the issue?
You can say you think it is. But in all honesty Big Horsepower = Big recognition. I would be willing to bet more people know the Supra than the Celica. Either way that doesn't matter. They aren't going to name it Celica.
I don't care at all what they name it, a name is a name, it's not going to help me get an extra .1 g's out of it LOL.
But I do think it's funny that so many people actually think it's going to be named Celica. It defies all logic that they would do that.
If the Celica nameplate is so famous and synonymous with Sports Cars why the hell did they pick the AE86 to name this after?? It's a real question since you think they'll go with the Celica nameplate. Why would they go through all this effort to associate this new Car with the AE86 if there going to name it after something completely different??
