Core groups define the success of a boutique business. They do not rely on the masses. Example is Pelican Parts, Wayne doesn't own a 959 and 964 because Ford owners come here to buy parts for their Mustangs. He relies upon a core group of well catered to enthusiasts.

Perspective; 60 (+/-) million cars and trucks are sold per year. They made one million air-cooled Porsche's over a 50 + year time frame. It will always be a niche.
