I never said it was Masuda. From the article:
"Masashi Uemura, Subaru's deputy general manager of corporate communications, emphatically denied that the upcoming sports cars were Toyota-led, pointing out that platform and drivetrain development, production engineering and final assembly of both cars was handled by Subaru at Subaru facilities."
As for designing/engineering, it's a difference in perspective. I come from an engineering background, when I use the term 'design' it's almost always in the sense of engineering design, rather than stylistic or visual design.
