Eight-Six or Eighty-Six?
Since the AE86 was referred to as the hachiroku, which translates to eight(hachi) six(roku) and this new car is a Toyota 86, does the 86 in this new context translate to eight,six or eighty-six? just wondering.

eight six.the AE86 was the chassis code, not the actual name of the car. this will be the first use of "86" as the actual name of the car from toyota.correct me if im wrong.
yeah, i just listened to the parade vid and the announcer clearly says "hachi roku" at about 1:27.
