The heart of the car is a Subaru engine, Toyota provided the D4S(direct injection system), just like I said. I actually mentioned more Toyota involvement than the article did by including the HPFP.

Toyota told Subaru what they wanted. Subaru engineers, not Toyota engineers, were the ones doing the engineering. The articles mentioning of Toyota engineers was in regards to convincing Toyota board of directors to let them use specific parts(again, the D4S).

In the previous article I read that told us most of this info it mentioned Toyota engineers working WITH the Subaru guys...but it was still Subaru doing the actual engineering and construction using their methods and factories. I'm not trying to diminish Toyotas involvement, but I'm not going to give them more credit than is due either. It was thought up by Toyota, it was built by Subaru.

The cake is not a lie.
id like to see the article that says that toyota engineers did not engineer this car.

cars are more like buildings than cake. do you credit construction workers or the architect responsible for buildings such as the sydney opera house? hell its usually a machine that builds the parts. lets give the company who built those machines the credit.
