I tend to agree, i think there should be some exclusivity amongst owning a HSV, especially the GTS namesake.
I remember the days when I was in school and dreamt of owning a VS HSV, my old man too shared my love for cars and bought one of the first VX R8s off the line, and 3 years later I took over the repayments as soon as i left uni and got a full time job.
I still yearned for a GTS, and i sold the R8 and bought the GTS... 6 years ago which i still own today! Back in the VT/VX/VY range owning a GTS was 'special'. Not only was it a limited build number, but you got a different engine spec in the C4B, as well as better sorted suspension, bigger brakes and Coulsen seats.
I still would love a new E3, but i cant let go of my VX, especially since i honestly only see 1 or 2 other VX GTS/SV300s per year. Whereas im bound to see an E1/E2/E3 atleast once a day!
Going back to the OP, i think they need to stop building these cars in bulk and move back to exclusivity, however this will never happen, as build numbers result in more profit for HSV, and as a business decision thats where the buck stops.
