Dont forget about the market... more and more people were moving into the SUV market leaving little space for the performance market. The people in America did not seam that interested in performance (not us of course) but that is another reason why the import of high performance cars diminished.
Why sell a car that does not sell that well?? think about it.  think about this... A few years back there was not more RX7, nissan 300, Mitsubishi 3000 and our beloved Toyota Supra they were all discontinued...  But the market is now changing again and more and more people are looking into the performance cars, that is why the EVO, Nissan 350, RX8 and such are back in town... Hopefully Toyota will do something to the Celica and bring back the Supra
