More standard features in the GS, and more features in the GT and **** GT-P / GT-E off... They would sell more cars and have more money tothrow on future upgrades...
Yep running a multi million dollar motor vehicle manufacturer is that simple.

XR8 has been dropping in sales every year for at least a decade. Suddenly that will turn around? Why?

If V8 is such a huge draw why were there stuff all V8 fairmonts sold yet G6ET is a huge winner?

And these proposed XR8 sales, where do they come from?

Canibalise XR6T/FPV sales.....stupid.
Steal from Holden......yeh right....that would be like Patrol stealing from Cruiser....If XR8s were free most SS buyers would still not drive one.

Why do you not drive a Holden V8?
How many Holdens have you actually bought?
