You might have misread my post

I notice he mis-pronounced the 86 (hint: if it was eighty-six, it would be called Hachi-Ju-Roku not Hachi-Roku)...
He pronounced it as "eighty-six" when he should have said "eight-six". Unless you mean that this new model is being called the "GT Eighty-Six"? I have not read or heard that anywhere, but you never know.
