As I understand it, the idea of the car was discussed and then scrapped. Then Subaru came to Toyota with their first Legacy based prototype they built and Toyota jumped on board. The project makes a lot of sense for Subaru and I think they were very excited to do it. The DI technology alone was a deal maker for them business wise. Not to mention that this is basically a stepping stone to the next wrx/sti platform.
