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.

Toyota on one side and Subaru on the other side at the manufacturing line.
