Well I was keeping my opinion to myself but now you ask... 
I don't think they are a classic, not sure they ever will be... Its just a mid sized family hatch, not really anything 'special' imo. It'd be like saying a mk1 Focus will become a classic in a couple of years...
They'll never drop to £1.50, the parts will be worth enough to keep them floating around £500...but only the Rallyes and '6s will hold any real value, the rest will die out through rust anyway.
Though I have been wondering what will be a 'classic' in 20 years time, seems odd to think that some of the new cars today will be classics then...
