Icon3 Toyota FR-S Toyota FR-S : production name for FT-86 concept

via http://www.ft86club.com

Recent Toyota trademark applications in the U.S. and Canada have revealed a newly registered model name of ‘FR-S’. Is this the name of the production version of the FT-86 concept?

We think it just may be as the FR-S likely stands for Front-engine, Rear-wheel-drive, Sports car.

The U.S. trademark application (No. 85049145) was filed on May 27, 2010 for “Automobiles and structural parts thereof”.
The Canadian trademark application (No. 1482643) was filed May 27, 2010 for “Automobiles and structural parts thereof”.

We very much like this name, as Toyota has kept the name simple. It actually reminds us of the days of the MR2 / MR-S.
So what do you think of this name? Share your opinions with us HERE.

These new business school grads have no idea the value of lineage. Everyone want to make a name for themselves...They are part of the FR-S project, so it appears on top, rather get lost in the long list of names for the Celica history.

Since when do names become abbreviations?

I don't care what they call it - FT-86, FR-S, Celica 86, BZ-Z, or the Awesome Monkey ... I just hope they don't change up the styling and weight of the production version too much.
