He may not have had much input on the styling, but regarding the design the Chief Engineer has much input on the design of the vehicle. Sure he is not the one negotiating with suppliers, creating drawings, number crunching, etc.., but he does have the power to control much of what gets decided. He has the big picture view of what the vehicle is supposed to be based on Toyota's objectives and makes sure all groups responsible for its development are able to meet those objectives.

It was so obvious that I didn't waste my time on more replies. Basically, your cover all the areas.
