they have already been discontinued. japan has gotten the 'final edition' series to commemorate that. there might be new models on their way to america, but it means no more new models are being produced right now.
all that's been confirmed is that toyota has chosen to go in a different direction with the 2nd gen, and people that were involved(but are no longer) in the 1st gen design don't agree with the direction that they're going. but this was all pre-covid confirmations. right now, we don't even know if they're going to produce a 2nd gen..
i would say to look at the scion xb gen 1(2003–2006), and gen 2(2007–2015) for guidance. straight off the wikipedia page:
"The first-generation Scion xB was very similar to its original bB inspiration, but the second-generation xB was based on American buyers' "wants" relative to the first-generation, combined with the new styling of the 2005 bB. The sales of the Scion xB plummeted after the switch from the compact first-generation to the much larger second-generation xB2."
that doesn't mean it's going to be hot garbage, but it does mean it is going to be a departure from the passion-project that the 1st gen was.
