Not sure how true this is or whether it's Subaru blowing hot air!

They originally were made 2008 TPH. they built a hybrid hatch Using General Electric parts.
But with Toyota holding a stake in heavy metals. Cheapest synergy option was Toyota sourced hybrid parts. To do so they would need to modify the engine/gearbox design. Hence the MK2 engine.
Although probably more likely to be tested/developed for SUBARU Chelsea tractors then Impreza But as said easy to test in a BRZ first.
