Sorry if its already been stated but IMO they need to bring back some old school names to really get this car going, call it the Celica since its gonna be a 20k car or so and get some buyers who are loyal to that car line. Hybrids are utter fail and sales are terrible across the board, hell Honda has taken a nose dive into them and cancelled almost all of their Hybrid cars to stick with normal gas cars, and I dont even wana begin to rant on how crappy the crz is with its "sporty" 10 sec to 60 numbers. My idea, Toyota makes it good if it has over 200 hp or more and brings back an old name. If they make it hybrid and has some crappy 130hp it will die quickly because Americans just hate hybrids unless your some tree hippie and in that case you already have a hybrid called the Prius that toyota makes

I like the FR-S idea, but only "Supra" would really raise some eyebrows (even though this concept is less powerful). Celica would help too, but I think it deserves a more flamboyant name.
