What would you name the toyobaru? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

NeXuS-GT · 10-26-2009, 09:29 AM

I voted other.

Celica I don't think so.. the concept is based on the AE86.

And to me the trueno or sprinter name don't really fit when I take a look at the car

Hachiroku · 10-26-2009, 10:03 AM

I voted for a new name. While I don't think that naming it "Celica" will necessarily hurt sales, I don't think it'll actually help sales either. In that case, I'd rather see a completely new nameplate on the car, something to signal the fresh approach and design of this car, unlike anything Toyota has made in a long while. Look at how much buzz a new name (like the Genesis Coupe) can generate.

OR

Just leave it FT-86 which by the time production car is out, will already be widely well known.

FT-86 actually sounds decent. but it's sounds like a scion to me. TC. FT. XB. XD. XA....AE? Same type of 2 letters. But Then you have the FJ. So... I dunno.

some ideas...not really original
Sprinter Trueno.
AE.
Super Sprinter.
Corolla Sprinter.
Corolla GTS.
Corolla FT
86.
Slider or Slide. Slyde?

Wow, You just make me think.. I just hope it'll not sold under Scion's name.. Because we don't have them here in Canada

S2KtoFT86 · 10-26-2009, 11:21 AM

Name makes no difference to me. I will buy it regardless. Mine won't have any badging on it either so naming isn't important.

Looks like we're not the only ones obsessed with this question

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/26/t...rates-over-pr/

The people who think this car should be badged a Scion are nuts.

The Subaru version of this car would sell like crap if the Toyota version was badged a Scion.

I think Toyota it will call it something we have yet to think of. But I would like a reference to the principles of the car.

VenomRush · 10-26-2009, 02:09 PM

they should call it the TS-86 if not FT.. i wouldn't mind calling it the TS (toyota subaru)

Why badge it to Scion is bad? It's like Celica.

ST-86 sound better. Not Subaru Toyota, but Super Toyota. lol

markfromaurora · 10-26-2009, 03:13 PM

if it will be called corolla or celica i wont buy it just for that... associates too much with the bland current products

markfromaurora · 10-26-2009, 03:13 PM

also no go if its a scion

MTD · 10-26-2009, 03:18 PM

Scion already has their own concept called the Fuse and Scion is only sold in the US and maybe Canada next year, so what about the rest of the world? another Toyota name?

Celica I could live with, but I like the FT86 name.

zigzagz94 · 10-26-2009, 04:24 PM

I obviously voted for Celica for all the reasons I said in the drifting thread but I'll buy it regardless of name.

4agze · 10-26-2009, 04:34 PM

personally i didnt think that this car will be called corolla, trueno, levin, sprinter or even chassis code FT86 i dont know but i have a feeling they will call it different ether way it the specs are right and the price is right ill get one.
