The
86 is a series of sports cars jointly developed by
Toyota and Subaru.
As for the Subaru owners please it's a Toyota design get off your high horse thinking you have the better car of the two.
Same car yes and no.
All of the 86 cars have different parts/ trim levels.
Toyota design the car long before Subaru became a partner with the FT86 project. Subaru makes the car and with that said Toyota owns part of Fuji Heavy Industries.
