They have always been registered that way. That is not new.

Celica FRS

It should be the rebirth of the Celica!

In the early 80s, when the car was RWD, I wanted one SO bad. By the time I got my license, they moved to a FWD platform. I never did get to drive (or own) the 82-86 celica GTS I always yearned for.

However, I do have a BRZ, and love the twins. I would love to see it rebranded & launched as Celica!

Ah, figured as much! I wasn't sure if all of them were registered that way, thanks for the heads-up!

Probably Toyota FR-S or Toyota 86, but most likely FR-S since there's no point in them changing it. I haven't seen them use International name in the US market yet.

I'd be happy with either Toyota 86 or Toyota GT86. Wish they'd just drop the FRS name completely though. Seems like most people into these cars refer to them as 86's anyway.

We only had a very small selection of Scions here ever really. We also have only had Scion from 2011 (as late as 2014 in some areas)

I think this is super retarded, because Toyota has the Vios.

They sale it as the Yaris Sedan in the Middle East, Caribbean, South America and Africa.

Be willing to bet that there are some regulatory requirements (crash, enviro, safety, etc) that it doesn't meet for Canada and that is why we are different.

Really? I thought it was the same as the US. Do you guys get the Yaris HB in Canada?
