Concept 3 and counting. It's premature to change the domain name.

Only a little. He sounded pretty confident in the name being FR-S for Scion.

Also mentioned that a lot of forums got the name wrong. Ours didn't, we've had FR-S on the top links for ages.

(I still think that fR would have been waaaaay better, and the talking about how Scion's not being conventional by going with a non-Scion naming pattern, but they just used the old Toyota convention. MR-S, Scion?)

That whole blab is why I hate Scion. Just feels insincere. But maybe they're trying to change. FR-S/FT86 is a legit performance product. FINALLY...

FR-S would work in Asia and Europe because, for example, the MR-2 Spyder here, is called the MR-S in those two locations. Besides, FR-S doesn't exactly jive with the current Scion nomenclature of two letters (xA, xB, tC).

Again this is CONCEPT car, my friend. It's not the final production ver, it could change the name.

tC is called Toyota Zelas (or something like that) in Middle East, so Toyota can change the name for Asia & Euro for FR-S.
