Fresh new trademark applications out of Japan! Toyota has filed for the naming rights to four new BZ models, the BZ1C, BZ2C, BZ3C, and BZ4C (you can click each name to see the filing).

I think we can infer a fair bit by the naming convention -- the smaller the number, the smaller the vehicle, but what do you all think the C will stand for?

Could be a cut-down version of the SUV "X" models, we've definitely seen a lot of that going around with the Germans and even Infiniti. I'd love to dream that the C would be for proper 2-door coupes, but that seems like too much to hope for. Maybe they'll be sedans and the C stands for "car"?

If anyone knows better than me, or just wants to speculate, please sound off below!

I'm starting to think that 'C' stands for coupe but likely for just coupe styling and nothing more.
A couple of these concepts seem to have coupe styling.

Given how the term "coupe" has been twisted over the years it could be. Or it could be a way to differentiate FWD models from AWD models.
