Yep, and let's face it, they'll easily sell all the last cars with GT badges regardless what they do with them, so what incentive is there for them to actually invest any money? They've made it clear for a long time they don't care about the enthusiasts that love the brand.

Took the opportunity to see what all the fuss was about - and arranged to have a closer look at the Gen-F HSV Clubsport in Black with Black leather and alloy wheels and sitting adjacent to it , another clubsports in a migenta colour , black leather and wheels with bright red HSV calipers . The sales person(HSV specialist) appeared to know less than I did - why is that ?????? . Anyway , I was only looking and had no intention to had back the keys to the batmobile for a shiny new HSV.

In fairness, I agree , over the years , HSV are to be commended for their advertising role in making their units desirable , however , as I alerted to earlier , as the brand / car talks to you - pointless buying it , because , some report , driver, and or , tells you , you should . I 've owned Torana 's , Monaro's and Commodores , in my earlier years , and apart from the joy my A9X came me - whilst dating my now wife , nothing as stirred the emotions as much as the GT .

Well , I sat in the Gen-F, played with a few switchs and run my finger over most things , and I must , the range sports a unique array of features , front and rear bumpers , firmer and lower suspension , uprated brakes and larger lighter wheels ..

The sales person stated , if I wanted to get into the GTS , I would need $105k in auto and $102k in manual , and if I ordered the car today, I should expect delivery in Nov 2013 or Mar 2014 ???? and of course their are no drives available ..

I came away , thinking , I will be hanging on to the batmobile - it cost me less, stirrs the emotions more , and I am sure with a little cash injection , I should be able to knock over the claimed 430kw - although it has never been about the kw - heck , if it was , I would have purchased the GS - value for money it ticks all the boxes - except the most important one for me anyway - No GT Badge !!! :pandalol:
