What Will You Call Your 86?

[phm14]

So there it is. I consider my car to be a crossbreed bastard with too many damn names. I think Toyobaru fits best, even if it sounds funny. Hell, that just set spellcheck off. I think I'l answer the question "What IS that?" with "It's a Toyobaru 86", or just "It's an 86". How 'bout you?

Edit: I'm likin' the great nicknames also. My Firestorm 86 is called "Candy O", after the Cars tune from the '79. She's red, sweet, curvaceous, and a delicious treat to take for a drive:

I'd say GT86. Personally i think "Scion FRS" is very unimaginative. I feel the same about the name "BRZ," as i've already expressed a desire to rename it "Zenith."

Someone asked what it car it was. I told them it was Sexy.


But really, I told them its a Scion FR-S. Then proceeded to explain it's really a Toyota GT86. But it was branded as a Scion for incomprehensible reasons.

I just call it Midnight. If anyone asks who makes it I'll say it's a Toyota.

I'm going to call it "mine".

I realized right after I posted that I should have added more options, like "Toyota 86" and "Something Else", but I don't see a way to add them now. Maybe one of the mods can help with that. In the mean time, please post whatever you come up with, and maybe save your vote until we have more options.

Why you ask? Because shes kinda black, got a nice ass, took all my money, and can predict what I'm going to do next while driving

[Nevermore]

I'm going to call my hot lava FR-S Vesuvius. As far as brand, I'll probably just leave it as what it is, a Scion FR-S.

I actually think the name FR-S is brilliant because it follows in line with their previous MR-S sports car.

FR-S = Front Engine, Rear Wheel Drive - Sports Car
MR-S = Mid Engine, Rear Wheel Drive - Sports Car

86 doesn't mean a whole lot in America since it was called a Corolla here.

Well, i feel that those names are just kind of lazy is all.

Well I think cars should have fairly basic and logical names rather than super-hero names. But it doesn't matter too much to me either way.

I've always liked creative, imaginative names rather than the types of names BMW and Infiniti give their cars. 'Just what i like, that's all.

IMO it depends on the type of car it is. Typical economy cars, sure I wouldn't care what it's called - but with the likes of Ferraris or Lambos, of course you'd want superhero (sounding) names: "The" Enzo, Aventador, Corvette, Skyline, etc.

[Bristecom]

Yeah, I guess it just depends. But sometimes they sound pretty ridiculous when they come up with a new name. So what if they called it "Hachi-Roku" spelled out? Would that be better?
