This doesn't change the fact the car was Toyotas idea, not Subarus.

Okay that's great, Toyota had an awesome idea. How many ideas have existed and have been kept in the file cabinet or thrown out due to "not the right time", "not enough of a market" or "insufficient funds"? Those concepts that never happened, etc. Example: I have an idea of a 300hp N/A 4 cyl. Possible? maybe.. Fundable? Maybe by Bugatti.

Subaru made Toyota's idea a reality.

Subaru could have done it on its own, but they didn't want to, but in no way would they have gotten 200hp N/A on their own
