Then maybe they should have called it the "Toyota Subaru BRZ" so that everyone knows.

Speaking of which, to those who still consider this a Subaru, consider this: Even though it was ultimately engineered and assembled by Subaru, the entire rear wheel drive dynamics of the car come from Toyota. The transmission, LSD, and traction/stability control logistics are all Toyota based. Not to mention, the interior and exterior design was done by Toyota. This car has very apparent Toyota characteristics so I think it's pretty ignorant to be calling it a rebadged Subaru, even though Subaru made it a point to stick their logos everywhere.
