Highly doubtful, the 86 sales are on a downward trend and will continue to decline, they will never sell as well as they did in 2013 without a radical redesign, upgrade, or massive price cut, and this upcoming 'refresh' is highly unlikely to be anything of significant value other than bumpers and a 'yota badge and maybe some fluff I don't give two fucks about. We might see a spike up to ~15k units in 2017/18 if the refresh is delivered by then and then another continual decline for another 4 years (therefore fewer units with 'Yota badges running around the Americas) and then it will be announced whether there will be a 2nd gen or if it's dead.

Just like every other RWD Japanese "sports car" in the last 20 years. Hell the North American Yota 86 could be fugly and sell even fewer units making Scion the common one and the Yota the rare one with the same performance.
