Mitsubishi, Isuzu, and Subaru are probably the ones to go under first.

That would leave Toyota, Lexis, Nissan, Infinti, Honda and Mazda. Of those Mazda is the smallest.

Toyota already dropped the Sion brand. I wonder about the Ininiti brand by Nissan

#3 - I would agree that Mitsubishi and Isuzu are the most likely candidates for dissolution. However Lexis is just a rebadged Toyota as is Infiniti is just an expensive Nissan. Both of those premium brands are wholly owned subsidiaries of their respective parents. So I would not expect them to disappear.

Mazda is larger than it seems, due to its partnership with Ford. IIRC, Nissan has a similar relationship with Renault (which goes a long way to explaining the French automaker's improvement).

I believe Isuzu is already out of the light-duty vehicle market, at least in North America.

Mitsubishi is a POS and has the worst value retainment.

Joe Izuzu can save Izuzu.

Subaru holds its value amazingly well.
