It won’t differ much specification-wise (weight and power at least) it seems.

But why not AE87 or something similar to that? Had they kept making them throughout all these years, then obviously the name should stay. But it’s just not the same car.

From Wiki

> For the purpose of brevity, the insider-chassis code of “AE86” is used to describe the whole range. In classic Toyota code, the “A” represents the engine that came in the car (the 4A) **and the E86 represents the 6th revision of the fifth generation ([E80 series](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla#Fifth_generation_.E2.80.94_E80_series_.E2.80.94_1983)) of the E model which is the Corolla.**
