All I really want is a non-numerical name. I want a NAME. All the coolest cars usually have real names: Vanquish, Viper, Skyline, Supra, Mustang, Modena, Italia, etc. etc.

The new McLaren could have been so much cooler if it wasn't called the MP4-12c. Really now? That all you got?

I like my idea: Piranha

There were lots of rumors, years ago, that they were going to release the tC here as the new Celica. I wonder if that not happening has anything to do with this vehicle.

Toyota, just come up with an new name that hasn't been used in the past 10-15 years. Thanks.

You know the Corolla has always been a Cheap Econobox? Hence why it was one of the first cars to adopt FWD.

Just because they made 2 models that became awesome sports cars doesn't mean the entire line was made to be sporty. Otherwise there would have been no reason to make the Celica, Celica Supra, and later the Supra.

I voted other name

Today, sometimes, the name don't mean nothing, there's so many version!!! :x Designers create cars, so why don't they create names?

Seeing that this thing is gonna be a scion in the states (which sucks, cause now it will be the alpha numeric bullshit), I'd bet that it will be a Celica in other markets. Name has way more weight outside of the US.

I remember TomGT posted up an article where the 'Ze Germans' were calling it a Celica when Hachi posted up the 1st "mule" pics. Weird...

this comes from "Auto, Motor und Sport":

The proposed 2012 compact sports car from Toyota is on its test laps on the Nordschleife. We have hit the Toyota Celica's successor with Boxer engine and rear wheel drive.

In April 2008, Toyota and Fuji Heavy (Subaru) announced the expansion of their cooperation. At that time the target is spent to provide end 2011/beginning 2012, a compact sports car on wheels that will come to a relatively low price to Europe.

Successor for the Toyota Celica 2012

Toyota stopped, therefore, on its shares in Fuji Heavy from 8.7 to 16.5 percent. The new sports car will appeal to the end of 2011 a wide class of customers, and is built in a purpose built factory in the Japanese province of Gumma. The platform and the engine controls for Subaru, while Toyota is responsible for the design of the little athlete.

Unlike the other Subaru models of the 4.27-meter-long compact sports car is, however, do not come with all-wheel drive but on the market. Under the hood, a two-liter boxer engine from Subaru provide propulsion. Refined with direct injection technology from Toyota to the four-cylinder making 200 hp. It is shifted via a manual six-speed transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission. A limited-slip differential ensures traction on the rear axle.

Toyota Celica with 300-horsepower turbo

Who knows the engine range of donors Subaru engine, but may well imagine that even a turbo version could be offered with 300 hp. The new compact sports car, Toyota will bring a successor of the 2012 Toyota Celica on the market.

The look of the new features the athlete presented at the Tokyo Motor Show sports car study FT-86 IMAGINE.a evolutionary stage, there was at the Geneva motor show and then see a Scion at the New York Auto Show.

I voted other. My guess is FR-86.

[demby123]

I think it'll be badged as a corolla outside of the states and the Scion FR/FRS here.
BTW the Tc was the successor to the celica if I'm not mistaken.
