1. They've already used letter "C" for tC.
2. sC-86 is four letters long and Scion have been two letters long, so it doesn't work.

1. So? They have xB, and xD
2. Hence why I put "edition" at the end. It comes as a package.

1. I was talking about last letter. They haven't had same last letter
2. When did Scion have/had an "edition"? Their "edition" is called "Options" (correct me if I'm wrong Dragon)

Edit: Never mind, they did have Limited Edition called RS (Release Series) in tC... but nothing special other than the color

Good guess. I've always assumed (though the other answers lead to me to believe I'm wrong) that the MR2 stood for Mid-engine, rear-drive 2-seater. That reasons that the 86 could be a Front-engine, Rear-drive, 4-seater (or Flat-4...I do like that). FR4. Its feisty.

I'm doing it anyway. I debadge all the cars I own. 90% of people don't know the difference between an Cobalt/G5 if they have the same options. I think the car would look great with no wing, badging, coilovers, and two-tone akin to the AE.

I would like to see this car labeled as "Celica." The original Celicas were RWD, 4 cyl. and of similar dimensions. It seems like the best fit to me.

FR4 is actually a common material used for Printed Circuit Board design. The same PCB that you see in your computers and video cards..

NESW20 · 03-17-2011, 10:53 PM

yeah, either Mid engine Rear drive 2 seater, Midship Runabout 2 seater, Mid engine Rear drive 2 wheel drive, etc... there's a huge debate about it, but it seems to me the correct interpretation is Midship Runabout 2 seater, so i guess your "4" is valid. although maybe more valid will be "2 .5 .5"

haha. if you add it all together, 3!!! so how about FR3??? oh how i amuse myself.

Yes. I do remember that from a 100 level computers class 4 years back. Ick. Getting drunk before that class was fun. Then playing Warcraft and ignoring the lecture was even better.

Well, theres a first time for everything . . . I think it could work. But that's just me. I think theres a "ring" to it.

Also, Lexus already coined SC so its in the toyota family . . . maybe it'll make a comeback =)

Archer256 · 03-26-2011, 08:08 PM

I think lexus plans on making a new SC eventually, that or introducing a IS coupe variant.

I'm pretty sure this will be either 86 or FT-86 considering it's getting trademarked.

Very true. There's always a first time for everything.
