If I saw a S15 as often as I saw a Corolla I would start getting sick of them real fast regardless of how nice the car is. Emissions aspect plays a HUGE factor in taking into consideration the production of a car today. At the end of the day these companies are businesses. Once sales start plummeting they really have no reason to keep making car. You basically see this happening with the twins right now.

Having modern small, light, RWD performance cars available > focusing on the rarity of old platforms. Modifying and improving GOOD cars doesn't give you cookie cutter cars. It gives you improved versions of good cars.
If I could buy any of those cars new now with updated styling, a more modern engine, and refined handling/dimensions/suspension geometry, but overall similar and faithful to what made those cars great in the first place, I would be much happier than if modern versions of those cars didn't exist at all.
