Because Tada is butt-hurt that Subaru is getting all the glory for the BRZ. The general perception is that the FT86 is a Subaru with a
face saving amount of Toyota stuff mixed in. Subaru could have easily just run the FXT turbo engine with no Toyota stuff at all. Same thing for the 6 speed.
Subaru's story and most other stories are consistent- its Tada who keeps trying to push a new narrative (focused on him unsurprisingly). But the reality was that Subaru's idea's and perceptions were correct- the later Scion models moved away from the Scion design model to closer mimic the BRZ's features/options (and higher price).
tl/dr ignore anything Tada says about the FT86 at this point
