I think it's pretty safe to say that Tada's role now involves a LOT of public relations. Only a PR person would say the things he did recently about the torque dip. Only a PR person would be authorized to conduct the interviews and put forward Toyota's version of the partnership.
I suspect his selection for the project was as much because of his appearance, language and public relations skills as his engineering talents. It appears that he is being groomed as a Toyota engineering spokesperson (that is public relations) and probably more in time to come.
Good on him. He appears to be good at it, but I think it a bit naive to view his comments as inside technical info rather than carefully scripted PR.
