Exactly. There is exactly zero chance that they will discontinue the 86 before it has had at least a five year run. The primary development and tooling are a good part of the cost of the car; they want to amortize those costs over as long a run as possible.
The only case where cars get discontinued early is when their volumes are so absurdly low that they are not even worth moving around in inventory, or when they were intended to be short term special editions of a larger-volume model.
