I think they're popular, because they're popular and people think.."they must be OK because there are so many about."
I'm going to be a bit controversial here (and you all know what car I drive), but replicas hold the kit industry back. Although '7's have certainly kept manufacturers busy, I don't believe there has been any knock-on for other manufacturers and the lack of original thinking has restricted choice for buyers. I refuse to conceed that just because something is a budget car it has to be either ugly or a Lotus Seven Rip-off. I use that last phrase because LSIS is just a cop-out, say what it is and be done with it.
