I'm not sure why people are giving HSV a hard time about this, it's a great feature and further separates HSVs from regular Commodores. If FPV introduced something similar, I bet people over here would be jumping for joy. HSV are improving the breed - MRC, competition mode, launch control (that actually works unlike Ford's), this new diagnostic crap, the list goes on... FPV pretty much put a big motor in a Falcon with bigger brakes and better suspension. HSV are doing a whole lot more than that lately, you just can't compare a HSV product to an SS Commodore anymore in my opinion. HSV are really focussing on how their cars perform as a whole, not just how fast they are in a straight line - maybe this is why a GTS obliterates anything FPV makes around a track? People might call it gimmicky, yet nobody has actually sat in an E3 HSV and tried it out - people instantly dismiss it as crap. If that's the case, rip off your guage pods because if this interactive HSV system is a gimmick, words can't describe how gimmicky a guage pod is.
