Well the A is for the A-series motor which is long gone. So it may start with FB, unless things get complicated and Toyota gives the boxer a different code to match their nomenclature.

And Subarus typically use two letters (I don't know what the numbers are for in Subarus). I know GC is first gen Impreza coupe. But I don't know what the 8 in GC8 is for.

Will be interesting to find out how this turns out, but I'm betting neither will have '86' in it... So will it really be an 86?
