I expect coz those that really wanted one of the last have already gone out and got one.

The cars that remain unsold have been over priced by the greedy capitalist pig dealers whose chickens are now coming home to roost.

hmmmm.. not sure about that
my local stealership only has a handful of HSVs and a few SV6 VFs left
the rest of their new car space is Colorados, the new Equinox, some left over Captivas
Astras and of course a number of ZBs

I was at our local dealer a few weeks back and there were few SV6'S and a few more V8's. Still some there as i passed today. IMO, Holden over-anticipated V8 demand during the last few months of production.

There are probably more used V8 and SV6 VF's at my local than new ones , I'd say as time goes on , people may trade in for the ZB .
