Levorg Design - Toyota influence?

[Johnny5C]

Here's a question for you. As a new UK Levorg owner I have my eyes peeled to see another one, and I keep getting false positives.

The culprit? Toyota Corolla Estate rear end.

So, how much of the Subaru design is influenced or shared with Toyota? Is it just a "Japanese" design thing, or do Toyota and Subaru collaborate?

Hear me out - here is a corolla rear end. I'm not going to "side by side" it with my car, because they are obviously different, but you can forgive me for looking twice, right?

12000%. Subaru and Toyota work together on alsorts of stuff.

Let's not forget Toyota owns ~20% of Subaru.
