Supercharged HSV?

[bouka]

No point in speculating any more I reckon. All will be revealed in less than a week.

I'm excited at the prospect of the GTS, the entire range really.

I hope they have done enough. I trust they have.

[Drizt]

Agreed. It is better to wait as the real thing could not be that crap.

[Pickles]

Good to see you so excited pickles.

Now sell that taxi of yours and go and buy one.

Ha ha ha!
Well, if the GTS is as we hope it will be, and if it was available, when we bought "the taxi", there would have been a good chance that we would have bought one....and I guess that is what Phil Harding is hoping that the GTS will do.....ie, attract some of the Euro M.B., Audi, BMW, buyers etc.....surprisingly M.B. sold more C63s last year than HSV sold Clubsports....I wouldn't have believed that, had I not read it. And I reckon this car will get some of those buyers.....because I think it will be a sensation, particularly if the interior has also been upgraded.
Whilst we were in Swan Hill, we dropped in to see an old mate, also like me, a long time member of the HSV Owner's Club...he's had a succession of Brocks & HSVs & he knew all about the GTS...he was full of it....as I reckon a lot of people will be....."Limited Run"?.....I don't think so.....I reckon they'll make 'em to order.
But for us...seriously, ......as things stand now.....well it doesn't make any financial sense at all to get rid of "the taxi", which is only 14 months old?
"The Taxi", does go pretty well though, regards Pickles.

Yeah all of you cashed up guys need to buy them new, so regular guys like me can buy them in a few years time for half the price or less (though looking at how VX GTS have retained the value perhaps not)

Good question drew. Need to see GTS and decide what to do with my "taxi".

Cla AMG not till next year for delivery. GTS in August.

Time will tell. I honestly don't know.

Straight trade pickles.

That way you can actually be an owner again when you attend the meetings.

And yes, your taxi is a fine bit of kit. No doubting that!

Where your deposit is being placed will determine where I am going
As we have very similar likes and expectations

Is that what they are telling you? They told me later this year. Hope it's not too long as my short attention span starts to kick in!

No doubt, that would be possible.
But, if I'd made financial "decisions" like that throughout my life, it's for certain I wouldn't be able to drive what I'm driving, or anything else, for that matter.
It will be interesting to see what "trade-in" values occur in GTS deals......I will just say that I reckon trade in "values" will be minimal.
Cheers, Pickles.
