Scion and Saturn were both recent entry level brands for major car manufacturers. Both of them were subsumed into their parent companies and most of their models were discontinued. If the models were good for business, those would have continued.

I believe the idea of compact cars being popular in America is more of a Hacker News trope. Over the years, we've repeatedly seen subcompact cars, both EV and ICE, enter the market only to fade away. The reality is that they aren't particularly popular—most Americans simply don't want them.
