I think it partially validates the rumors that Toyota let Subaru have the reigns with the development of GEN II. So development and design might be 98% Subaru, with Toyota stepping in for their own final tuning, which probably amounts to messing with the dampeners or transmission logic.

Does it really surprise people that a company uses the same design cues across their product line?
Is this a new thing to some? Of course they look similar and some elements are almost identical. It is what has been done for 100 years.

Of course you can they want people to look and be able to say "that is A XXXX". It is also how some random dude can make a render of a concept that looks somewhat like the final version if you squint and hold your head at the right angle.

(Even if it was at the very back like the unwanted stepchild...) Toyota didn't even bother to have the 86 in their family portrait! |
