Tetsuya Tada (Tada San) from Toyota designed it actually and its well documented. The looks alone do not scream Subaru in any way at all... "2 minute mark and on in first video below)
In end the twins are a hodge podge, Subaru almost was not involved and at last minute committed to their involvement with the motor etc. Esthetically all you see exterior and interior was all designed by Toyota, made at Subarus factory as it had room to do it and Toyota owns a % of Subaru as well, If Toyota engineer had not had the vision this car would not exist. I love both the FRS/BRZ btw...(3 minutes and on in first video below)
Here is an old video but you can see the background on the design the idea and what cars it was based on in Toyotas design.
Interview: ( watch all way through for facts)

Thank you for reposting those! Makes me realize again why I bought this car. The fact that they developed this car not relying on sports tires was a big selling point to me. Because everybody is naturally going to slap a stickier set of tires on this car...
