Yes. Although a more appropriate term for North America would be triplets.

So here is the thing. These cars are a collaboration of Subaru and Toyota, and Toyota owned Scion before it went out of business. There is a list around somewhere but when it comes down to it the car is technically more Subaru than it is Toyota. In the US we got the Scion FRS and the Subaru BRZ, in other markets they got the Toyota 86 and the Subaru BRZ.

Now that Scion has gone out of business the Toyota 86 has come to America, giving us triplets.

Toyota:
designed shape of car(awesome)
paid for project(thanks sugar pop)
provided handful important parts(HPFP, DI)
watched/advised during the engineering phase

Subaru:
performed the entire engineering phase(with handful of Toyota guys looking over shoulder)
performed the entire construction phase down to the last nut/bolt
designed and built the engine
the suspension

You are right in a sense, it wasn't "designed" by Subaru, but it was mostly implemented by them.
