Hachiroku

The new Toyota sports car is called  Hachiroku, which means '86'.  To be introduced stateside in 2012m, we don't think it'll be called '86' here which is a bar slang for an undesirable customer,or one that must be evicted from the premises.


"This continues Toyota's sports car bloodline," Mr. Toyoda told reporters after driving a Hachiroku around the Fuji Speedway race track. "The 86 incorporates a sense of driving pleasure that we call 'doki-doki' or 'waku-waku,'" the Japanese for "heart-pounding" or "euphoric."
