What this means is that Subaru, FHI, and Toyota Project planners & coordinators came together into one room and built a project proposal which contracted each company's engineers into building the car separately. Its apparent based on the amount of tangible information that flows from each company on what was developed inhouse.
My guess, Chassis Toyota / Powertrain Subaru / Drivetrain Toyota / Suspension Subaru / Braking system Toyota/
Each was to do their part and then come together under Toyota flag first, I believe this is the reason why there has not been a Subaru FT Concept car yet.

You know, when SOA said so, I really doubt it. Saying Subaru does both cars is really broad(you can think of anything or everything), it's like saying Subaru developing sport and rebadge to Toyota/Scion.
