I didn't mean to get into a big debate over who did what, I was just pointing out that Masuda gives some strong credit to Subaru, and that his position is attention-worthy.
I think the translation of Tada's comments use the word design in a more common, aesthetic sense.

well ever since "SOA blog" on NASIOC said it was 100% subaru, i think the rumor still persists somewhat. hard to imagine anyone who still thinks that but ya never know, and that's why i presented some of those interesting facts.
the most interesting thing about all of this is how defensive subaru are about it. it seems the press believe that toyota is the leader as well, and subaru is very quick to correct that. they perhaps go too far, and end up insinuating that they did indeed develop the car all by themselves. perhaps that's where SOA blog heard the rumor to begin with!
