It's clear that the sales of those two cars had declined to near zero by the time of their discontinuation. It made no sense for the manufacturers to continue to make these cars if there were no more customers interested in buying them.
Interesting pattern, though. Introduction year is good, 2nd year is great, a significant dropoff in the third year, then a long gradual decline in sales until the model is discontinued. The pattern is so consistent that it seems certain that Toyota/Subaru have factored this into their sales projections.
