It was a collaborative effort in the same sense that a kid goes to bed when their parents tell them too. Toyota had no place to produce this car and their recent purchase of Subaru gave them an outlet to do so. Management at Subie had no interest in this vehicle bc it doesn't fit the lineup at all but the Toyota development team got a prototype over to the Subaru engineers and they had so much fun testing it that the opinion to do it got carried all the way back up the chain.
