LSD diff, why did the auto not get a LSD on the sv6.

To save money? Get an 8 and then complain that you didn't get an LSD.

I wouldn't have thought that any of the V6 range would get LSD's as standard equipment, most people wouldn't need them or know what they are?

My first VE ute was an 08 sv6 auto 5spd and came std with an LSD and as far as I'm aware the utes still do come std with them

Its not uncommon.
As people have already pointed out, VE V8 Autos fitted to Berlinas, Calais and Calais V do not got LSD.
Try driving one of these in the wet and see how useful traction control is !!!

Also using Ford as an example,
The Only FG Ford that gets LSD standard is the XR6 Turbo. The G6E Turbo (Same running gear) has LSD as a very expensive option.

Both Ford and Holden tended to drop LSD from many models when they started to bring in traction control and ESP.
(Ford around the BA days slyly marketed it as an ELECTRONIC LSD), since the Bosch 4Ch ABS used could apply the brake to individual rear wheels when spin was detected on one, which would force power to go to the wheel with traction.

Our 2011 SV6 Ute has a 3.27 LSD.

I have a friend who works in a diff shop and laughs everytime someone brings a BA XR8 and asks why it's spinning singles. Open the
Cover and all they are is an open center with an LSD tag

on ser1's its std on ss/v man/auto so it should be on yours as well. cant see why a ser2 would be any different. why not crawl under and have a look?
