The Yaris was available for roughly $14k up until a year or two ago (I only know the Canadian price, which was I think $15,900 cad). It was discontinued because it didn't sell well enough.

Similarly, Nissan had the Micra available in Canada up until a year or two ago.

US Yaris was disconnected in 2020. Even the Mirage jumps 9% this year from 14k to 15,290 in 2021 with a hefty 995$ destination charge.

Companies really have been abandoning this sediment because as I said it’s unprofitable.

You say it was discontinued because it was unprofitable. I say it was discontinued because it was unpopular. Neither of us has shown any actual proof one way or the other

Those subcompacts are still sold on outside NA so latter is plausible.
