With the Scion brand gone, Toyota has finally rebranded the FR-S as the Toyota 86 in the U.S. market. The automaker also took the opportunity to update its rear-drive toy, giving it a little more power, various suspension tweaks, and a visual makeover. Is that enough to keep the high-thrills, low-buck sports car relevant, or does it erode some of what made the 86 so cool in the first place? Find out in our latest Why Buy?
