  • Toyota 86 in Asia, South Africa, South America and Australia;[1] GT86 in Europe; both of the preceding names in New Zealand; FT86 in Nicaragua and Jamaica
  • Subaru BRZ worldwide;
  • Scion FR-S in the US and Canada.
That doesn't change the fact that GT86 is still a popular term to refer to the Toyota twins, though.
