GT86 is the European name.

Toyota 86 = Japan/Australia/New Zealand/Other parts of Asia?
Toyota GT86 = Europe/Other areas of the globe?
Scion FR-S = Canada/USA

Jeff
You're right spot on !

Nice rides.

I would like to point out a few things.

1. I thought the car is known as a Scion FR-S in the US / Canada?

2. Did you switch out the emblem? :P

3. I watched a video of the FR-S and saw the interior and the guy who reviewed the video said the interior was ULTRA ghetto. LOOOOOOOL.


Skip to 2:38

Besides the ultra ghetto system inside of the car, the car looks really bad *** outside. Although I'm leaning towards the BRZ.

CONGRATS ON THE PURCHASE THOUGH!

According to car magzine on the test drive between the two models (forgot which one in Asia), BRZ has more firm ride during cornering on its suspension. Also BRZ will have its STI version, no turbo and it's about 40hp increase.

Thank you! I was going to saw the same, but quoting you is so much easier. Haha.
I was debating between this and and my current 350. Maybe one day I'll be like you OP and have both!
