Why did Toyota name this the Toyota 86 instead of just reviving the Celica nameplate or even if they still wanted the refer to the AE86 why not the Toyota Sprinter.

The tC was the last iteration
Besides, I see nothing wrong with it

Celica doesn't command as much vape cred as '86.

Cars sell better with letter and number names as it carries more prestige. This has been known and well-established for a while now. Car "names" are slowly becoming a thing of the past.
Also Sprinter can't be used because name conflict with the Dodge/Mercedes van

>why not the Toyota Sprinter
because it's more of a distance runner honestly
Carson Wood
It's called the GT86, not just 86.
Isaiah Stewart
GT stands for Gay Toyota.

I still don't know why they called it the 86 and keep saying it's the successor to the ae86 all the damn time, yet when you put side by side they look NOTHING alike, like AT ALL
It looks ALOT more similar to the 2000GT, and am always amazed that they never really mention it very much, even though it's drawn heavily from it, more than the ae86shitbox.
I'm surprised they didn't call it something like the 4000 GT or Gt-4k/Gt-3k or something like that or the FR 2000 or something

Is this also why Mazda dropped Miata from the MX-5 or was that another attempt to make it more masculine to sell to "Bro" croud
