Look forward to learning and seeing this community come to life once the car comes out!
Hi Ray, welcome to the site!

The chassis is actually referred to internally as "AS1", but the public hasn't been using this to refer to the cars.

US will get the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, but no Toyota version.

Japan's version will be the "Toyota 86."

Everyone else will get the "Toyota GT 86."
