86 has become the nickname of the car Sprinter Trueno/Corolla GT, so it does connote brand heritage. As opposed to FR-S, which just sounds hopelessly generic. Although it doesn't impact how the car will drive, it can impact how well the car is received. Technically they haven't made the FR-S name official for the production version, that lighting showing FR-S is just hyping the unveiling, not necessarily proclaiming that's the final name.

I just saw that. Very satisfied; looks identical to the 86 save for the Scion badge. Also very glad they kept the 86/piston badge on the fender. I'm nuts about this car. Never thought I'd ever desperately want a Scion =P

I can do without the LED DRLs, but thank goodness that it isn't going to be too far off from the GT86! Very cool!
