In the automotive world the OEM often hires out work for design, engineering, and manufacturing. The OEM tells the supplier what they need (parameters, specs, themes, etc) and the supplier does the work. In this case Italiadesign (did I spell that right?) did the design.
Is the Toyota Tundra a Japanese truck? hmmm
