Or vice versa. The power steering in the new Impreza (built on the SGP) is lifted straight out of the BRZ. They make a big deal about that in the marketing materials. No doubt there were other design cues and possibly even BRZ specific parts used in the new platform. They were working on developing the SGP at the same time as designing the BRZ platform so there would be little doubt that some of the engineering passed between the two and the ability to use BRZ tech as parts bin components was a consideration.
