What should MY16-18 M2's be called?

I keep seeing numerous names being referenced for MY16-18 M2's now that the M2c is out. Personally I just call MY16-18 simply an M2 and MY19 or later M2c, but I can see how that may confuse some. So what's the general consensus on what MY16-18 M2's should be called?

I refer to it as just M2.

Actually my wife calls it the Beast.

Same here - "the beast" or just "Beast".

Now, whoever voted for "Civic M2" - clearly denigrating -

Well this is dumb...I tried to click on "Civic M2" to see who the haters are and it registered a vote, lol! So subtract 1 from CivicM2...I would have simply voted M2...the newer version already has a different name, so why does the M2 need to change its name? Makes no sense.

M2.

Why do we have to try so hard to re-label something in a lame effort to change history? They’re M2s. Leave it alone.

Legacy M2. Just like the M2C will be legacy in a couple of years. For some reason, I still have a iPhone 7+. It’s appears the world has moved on. Every year.

I called it OG M2 because the Competition came out so now it's the Original.

I called the Competition, Chubby, because it no doubt is.

These threads are kinda sad... they stopped being funny after maybe the third or fourth one.

No need for a name, as the cars are named by the manufacturer. MY2016-18 is M2. If you want further distinction, you can use F87. Beyond that it's just silliness.

LOL... so every time a model revision comes out, youre going to revert to calling the prior version 'Prior'.. Consistency! Just call it wtf it is.
The Competition weighs more than M4 so it is chubby.

Why don't you lighten the fuck up.
