I'm betting it's just that everyone else got so much better with smaller cars. The Cits and Pugs were much better platforms... afterall, even with the updates over the years, the GD chassis really isn't all that far removed from a '92 Legacy.

People were bitching about the lack of a coupe, and the reasoning I always heard was "Subaru redesigned the car as a 4-door only because it makes for a better rally car".
