And also gives you brembos, more wheel options available, a better interior with more standard inclusions and a tried and tested drivetrain.

You can buy most of the options found in the SSV for a GS, but can you buy the power in the GS for the SSV? No, you can't.

And not everybody gives a stuff about power and figures Mr Clarkson. Its also nice to have a comfy car with lots of options to drive round in, not just one that makes all the right noises but can't pull up or have decent bluetooth.

It's unfortunate some here are of the glass-half-empty variety. For the power you get in a GTS, less than 260rwkw, I think the GS is a great bargain.

It's also unfortunate that those of us who don't mind looking at cars other than those made in Broadmeadows get treated like fools just because we like to consider other options.

And GT69 just to clarify - I actually bought an FG XR8 Ute brand new in 2009 so I'm not an EB lover or whatever you described me as.
