What's an 86?

I just called the dealership from which I bought my 86 last year to ask a simple question. The service guy answers the phone and I tell him, "I have a question about scheduled maintenance on my 86."

"What kind of car is it?"

"It's an 86."

Silence.

"An Eight-Six."

"What's an Eight-Six? You mean a 1986?"

"I bought it from you last year."

"We don't sell a car called an 86."

"You know - the sports car. A BRZ? FR-S?"

"Oh, the Scion."

"Yeah, but it's a Toyota."

The dealerships really know nothing about these cars. He also told me the wrong schedule service interval, which I had to ask him to look up to be certain.
