Is the Corolla the 86?

[Reagan]

AE86 is a model from the compact car series of the Toyota Corolla. AE86 is not a name but merely a chassis code. The AE86 refers to the fifth-generation Corolla first produced in 1983. Previous models included the TE27, TE51, TE55, TE61, TE65, and TE71, followed by the AE86 chassis. This chassis was not only used in the Corolla but also in the Trueno, hence the distinction between fixed-headlight and retractable-headlight AE86 variants. The AE86 marked the final FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) model in the Toyota Corolla lineup, as the current Toyota 86 shares nothing with the AE86 beyond the '86' designation.
