To put it simply...sales. They were down and kept going down. Also there isn't much money (profit) to be made in the class of car especially if your a volume car maker. Its mostly an image thing to have a sporty or sports car, not that I don't like them or have anything against it, its just when it comes down to it that's what it is!

exactly. same reason why the integra/rsx, prelude, supra, 300z, 3000gt, rx-7 and all other great japanese sports cars left during the late 90s. no americans wanted to buy them. they bought cheaper mustangs and camaros instead...

Not just in America, in other countries as well (including Japan). Sometimes though if a certain body style is liked so much, they will continue using it for several years even though there is a newer style of the same car out (i.e. Nissan B13 Sentra (91-94) was kept in Mexico until '98. Even though the Nissan S13 fastback bodystyle was discontinued here in the U.S. after '94 (240SX fastback), it continued in Japan until '98 because the sales were good and the bodystyle was liked so much.

just change the grill and body kit to make it look like the sport concept... oh yeah and rims also!
