Not sure they would, if Toyota dropped out. Remember they have a factory dedicated to this production, and what keeps the line running is the combined total of units.

If you drop the Toyota units out, Subaru would either have to build/sell more BRZs (unlikely) or they would have to retool the factory to build more than one car (also seems unlikely) or reduce the number of cars coming out of the factory, which probably doesn't make sense either.
