I doubt it but there is no SCION brand here in Japan so not something I'm worried about hehe

1.) Celica > Corolla - The AE86 was never called Corolla in Japan...where this car will be launched. In the grand scheme of things and considering how many international models such of this are heading towards universal naming, Celica just makes sense. It is "inspired by the AE86" and we all love that....but the Celica name is far more inspiring than Corolla and was used in Japan as well. It would also rally both Celica fans and AE86 fans into one huge group. (This is a good thing)

2.) Subaru AWD version? Why not an AWD Toyota version? Drift? Rally? Anyone remember the Celica GT-FOUR? (Alltrac in the U.S.) Yeah, I know there was a WRC Corolla but it didn't last nearly as long as the Celica did.

3.) Once again, inspired by the AE86 but look at it...just look at it! It looks like a Celica! not a Corolla, Levin, Trueno, Sprinter etc. etc.

Please do not argue with Oldskool unless you are MatadorRacing. I know that you are new to the forum and all but you won't win an argument regarding 86's against Oldskool. Kthxbai!

[OldSkoolToys]

In his defense, its not called a Corolla by fans / motorsport enthusiasts in Japan. Levin, Sprinter, Sprinter Trueno, but most frequently, AE86 or just 8-6 are used. However, they all know its a Corolla, by its production designation. And thats really all that the AE86 and the 'normal' Corolla's have in common. Production chassis designation.

This discussion is as old as dirt, but I never tire of debating over it.

http://forums.club4ag.com/zerothread?id=62783 is a similar thread on club4ag if you want to see what others have come up with.

Lastly, I know my fair share of AE86 knowledge, but guys on those forums make me look like a novice when it comes to information.

Ya you suck..... jk. i learn alot from your posts

[Chokonen888]

I stand corrected =O

I've never heard anyone refer to em as Corollas here. Always 86, Trueno, or Levin. Go figure.

[Slide]

They need a new name not sure what that shall be but diffenitly a new name for this new sports car!! Slide or Tounge or something along those lines :P

[Lexicon101]

It needs a new name. I'm not good with names, but something... very new.
Call it an AEon or a HiRo...
(referring to AE86 or Hachi Roku... but I think it should be a new name that makes a reference to the old legacy.)

(K.. now, I kinda like the idea of driving a HiRo. That's my vote right there.)

I posted this in another thread, but I did get info from a sales rep, and also dug out some of my old magazines. It talks about the Fuse being the prototype for the Scion TC in 2011 release, a held up super supra, and a 2008 Prototype Celicas. In addition my first car is a 1972 Black Celica ST, 1600. 4 Speed Manual tranny, with a big huge black fish tail as a spoiler. So I am some what torn between my two loves. I have been driving corollas, for most of my life. Had one even stolen from me. But as I see here, people only think the Celica was the true type of sports car, because of Rallys and all. But man you forgot one thing.

Corolla was also one of the dominating WRC rally car that also raced against the Subaru.

So I think they should name the new FT-86 Corolla Tsunami
