As I understand it, the Commemorative Edition was sold only in 1986,
had a digital dash, red leather interior, body-colored mirrors and spoiler,
had a **2.22L** engine and rear drum brakes, and came in alpine white
or graphite metallic.

1987 incorporated the body-colored spoiler, mirrors, digital dash (on
some?? all?), but offered a few different interior and exterior 
combinations.  It also switched to the 2.3L engine sometime in the 
middle of production, and some (potentially all) included rear disc brakes.
I think that the best way to determine an '87 vs. '86 Comm. Ed. is to 
check for a red leather interior, and also the rear brakes for drum or disc.
