Ever price a front fender for the 5000 and on the for the Caravan? 
Insurance companies are interested in how much the car costs to fix.  Or
at least how much they PERCEIVE it will cost them to fix.  It is difficult
to find a company that will cover a Lotus at all, because they are a
low-volume car and the companies think that Lotuses will be expensive to fix.
I took my Syncro business elsewhere when the company I had been with would
not cover my Europa.
