GM never owned Subaru or Toyota (though GM owns/ed 10% of Toyota and Toyota owns/ed 10% of GM. GMs bankruptcy may have changed that). GM has had a long standing partnership with Toyota. Several GM cars were rebadged Toyotas, the 80s Nova, the Pontiac Vibe (which was the last Pontiac produced), several GEOs, ect. Dodge/Plymouth did it with Mitsubishi (rebadged colt, eclipse, Starion, and galant, along with chassis and drivelines). Ford did it with Mazda (using chassis' and drivelines, but Ford did eventualy buy Mazda). It was not uncommon in the 70s,80s and 90s for American manufacturers to import rebadged Asian cars to fill gaps in there own model lineup, usually small cars.

GM does own Holden. Subaru and Toyota did co-create the BRZ/GT86 but beyond that they were never owned by each other (Toyota has since bought out Subaru's interest in that project and now its just the GT86, no more BRZ). The coming next generation Supra was co-created by Toyota and BMW.

As far as the exhaust, it is not uncommon for GT to reuse exhaust notes across multiple cars, even if they are not powered by the same engine. Its a step up from the previous GT games when every exhaust sounded the same. It is a running joke among GT fans with regards to GTs exhaust failings.
