This article is 98% BS.
We know that there was only one team: the TOYOBARU team, composed of people from Toyota and Subaru. They wanted to devide the works, but at the end it did not work, and they did everything together. The initial idea of the FT-86 came only from Toyota however, if it never came from them, we also wouldn't see any Subaru.

The specs are just wrong. The price is not too high. I don't know about you, but a BMW 1 Series costs 28.000 € without any powerful engine an without equipment. A VW Golf VI is just a piece of sh** if talking about handling.
Kerb Weight of the FT-86/BRZ is under 1200 kg / 2600 lbs. Dry Weight is around 1000 kg. EU under 1250 kg.
