I think you are missing the point. Caterham has a proven business model and customer base and growing market share. Go to Google news and enter Caterham and read about how in this economy they're the one company that is actually expanding. It's actually one automobile that makes better sense in terms of how little it depreciates in value compared to most others. How many vehicles do you know that demand $25k at 20 years old? Most 911 Porsche's, BMW's, or Mercedes can't even boast that.
It's great that the Seven can find support on many levels of income. If Caterham is out of your range don't knock the people that find enjoyment and contribute on that level. We are here (in this forum) to support and encourage the Seven.
Now I think I'll sit back and drink my stout while watching my favorite episode(s) of the Prisoner.
