The real reason Toyota named its budget bomb the “Toyota 86″

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Before It's News)

When you read up on this question you run into a lot of hokum about how Toyota high-performance projects going back fifty years had the number “86″ somewhere in their nomenclature.

Ya, maybe…

But here's a much more compelling explanation.

I think Toyota's branding department went into the history books and dug up the story of an authentic street-racing culture that was thriving fifty years ago on Highway 86.

Right in front of my house.

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
