85% of this car = Subaru Engineered. Why wouldn't I want a product from the Original, and also the Manufacturer

Let's see, first, even if his blanket statement was true, he says "Toyota planned and designed the car, Subaru engineered and manufactured it"...

So to this question, "Why wouldn't I want a product from the Original, and also the Manufacturer", I would ask, Why wouldn't you want a product from the company that planned and designed the car rather than the company that did the grunt work in the CAD program and manufacturing?

Like I said, you obviously don't understand the difference between a design engineer and a project engineer.

I am a design engineer, I design, on a computer, the hydraulic systems for Cessna business jets. Whether or not the system leaks, works as planned, and making sure it can actually be built is my job. How the airplane actually turns out a full product is the culmination of a lot of things which are all overseen by the product engineer. He doesn't actually engineer or manufacture a thing.

On a side note, I really don't think Toyota designed the whole thing either, I think they designed, and Subaru designed. I agree that most of the lowest level engineering was definitely done by Subaru. But all the same, your statement is not only based on the subjective opinion of one journalist, but it also doesn't encompass the entire subjective opinion of what that journalist said. You pick and chose what you wanted from his opinion to suit your needs.
