No, they can call it that if they want, but it's just a marketing ploy. It's as dumb as if they called the real 86 a 27.
The car should be called a Levin, if they want to tie it into that line of cars. It's even worse than that. The real 86 didn't have a goofy Subaru engine.

Look where I live. You don't need to explain the car to me.

Quit trying to out think the engineers and just drive the car.
