has toyota/subaru ever said outright that its the FB? subaru flat 4 can mean just about anything...

I was just thinking out loud. Sorry. Just trying to come up with another idea of why there might be some info that contradicts what we were led to believe previously. This could definitely be the final info. I don't think Motohide Miwa would purposely lead us astray. However who knows what Toyota's motives are at this point. I mean it is great that they got a group of enthusiasts together to talk about the project. BUT, Toyota/Subaru have been so tight lipped why would they start releasing info out now? Especially to a group of enthusiasts, who no matter what embargo was given/paper work signed, still at risk for spilling the beans. I wonder if this is more just an opportunity to get some enthusiasts viewpoint of the production car and to get a feel for the water temperature from them.
The added info that this story gives is great. Wish they would spill more of the beans, primarily about the car's weight and the specs on the engine. But I understand they are still working on the car. If Akio Toyoda enjoys the car as much as it sounds, it should be a great product in the end. Could be one of the best bang for the bucks in the past few years for a new car. We will have to wait and see.
