There is a cynical but easy answer to that question...
There is more money in royalties for C.S by flogging of the new than there is the old.
If he gets 10 people excited about the new car, they purchase & he gets royalties on 10 cars sold.
If he gets 10 people excited about the old: 3 might buy FFRs, 2 might buy SPF, 2 might buy BDRs, 3 might buy 1 of either an ERA, Kirkham, or Other.
I'll bet next to none buys a new CSX series and no royalties are paid on the capital gain of an Original CSX3... series.
So it is my humble summation he gets... pocket change on the licensing of SPFs which he endorses.
PS: In many ways, I guess that's good business sense.
