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...
The mini for instance, is one and the escorts are another one too!
The parts you will find may jump like, well the rarer bits will do.
it all depends how well the new shit is put together, and if some companies are still in business, in the last 20 years ago, we lost 3 car manufactures, Rover, Daewoo and Saab. So those cars are really going to end up on club support, of some sort to.
I know it sounds daft having a Daewoo fan base, But think the reliant, lada have their backers too.
Got to say out of the 90s generation the 306 has really lasted and is aging really well, in fact the 106 has too!
