I will prolly call it the zed or the toyobaru, just because i love pronouncing Japanese R syllables "ru, ri, re, ra, ro"

86 doesn't mean a whole lot in America since it was called a Corolla here.
It was a Corolla in Japan too, AE86 was the chassis code which turned into the nickname.

Seems that people are taking to this idea more than when I tried it six months ago http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3251

I will just have to wait and see what the personality brings out. I know what I would like to call it but sometimes it just just time for the personality of the car to develop a suitable name.

Yeah. Kind of tough when nobody owned the car.

Asphalt FR-S. First name that popped into my head was "Lola" so I went with that.


When I tell people what kind of call i have, i mix it up between Scion FR-S and Toyota GT86. Might start using the chassis code because I can say "Zed-N6"

I have decided to call mine "WTF" because that seems to be the consistent expression on people's faces as I drive by.

My FR-S has been officially named "Olivia" which was also the name of my MK1 MR2 and, of course, a certain Brit-Aussie singer that I've had a crush on since the 70's.
