This is not a "normal" production car that they will try to save or let go based on sales. They planned the life span of these cars before the first one ever hit the road and it would take massive shifts in numbers (either up or down) to make them change that plan.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I still think it will be interesting what Toyota has in store for the next several years.

I don't think the car will ever be worth more than it was new, but I think it will retain its value well over time. Sure they made a lot of 86s, but a lot of people want a stock car, or close to it. That will be rare in 10 years.
