My understanding is that Subaru went to Toyota looking for a joint venture. They pitched several ideas and the one that stuck was for a two door sport coupe. Subaru thought that it would be a slam dunk, but the Toyota engineers determined the design and Subaru did most of the engineering work. The Subaru engineers had to cow-tow to the Toyota engineers and they resented that but had no choice since the money came from Toyota.
