I never put too much trust in "insider" info since those that know the real story do not talk about it even with their family much less with friends of friends. It would mean their job if the wrong info got out and they sign some pretty hefty confidentiality agreements.

I believe @
DSOmegaX, because he managed to find some parts that no one else could manage. I have also an idea who are the people he is referring and I believe it is the truth. The specific people are not working directly in Toyota and have more freedom to express themselves. Tada was responsible for the entire sports car division and not only for our cars.
Having said that, I don't know what is the reason to leak such news now. I know for sure that the relations between Toyota and Subaru were not as good in the past and now looks the same. Maybe they are trying to push the issue on a higher level and find a solution before it is too late. For sure if nothing is on the papers, the date target of '19-'20 for a new model is now out of the question.
