...I will mention the fact that because you, and your like-minded cronies won't let the moths out of your wallets and buy one, the Rio will be gone soon, as well. It will (like many other cars you like) live-on in other markets, but not North America, because they SELL in those markets. If no one buys them, they WILL go away--sooner, rather than later.
Very few people go out an buy a NEW car because they NEED one. If you actually NEED a replacement car, you are likely looking at used vehicles. People buy NEW vehicles because they WANT one. Manufacturers build what the people want.
I reckon this kind of like the elections. If you don't vote, you can't bitch about the outcome--you didn't participate. If you don't buy a new car (at least every once in a while), you can't bitch about what's left on the market for you to choose from.
