Instead of partnering with Subaru, why didn't Toyota just make the gt-86, fr-s , with the Toyota JZ engines?

They wanted to build a car with the lowest centre of gravity possible.
The boxer engine allows them to do this. |

Would you rather have 80's technology in a car that would then be priced of 30k? or would you have current technology priced at a reasonable 25k?
