Does that mean the BRZ will get the same refresh as the 86? Like all the "go fast" parts . Just so we are all clear I'm not talking about exterior (IMO the toyota refresh now kind of looks like the BRZ). I wouldn't mind having hill assist on my car since I still get nervous on hills.
God damn! Get it right! It's TOYOTA 86, not GT-86 or GT86! (Unless you're in Europe!)

TOYOTA 86!!!!!!

I swear, I'm going to punch a baby in the face the next time I hear another North American say "GT86" referring to the TOYOTA 86



It is sold worldwide under three different brands with respective model names:
  • 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. For the 2017 model year, the Scion FR-S will be renamed as the Toyota 86.[2][3]
