I don't think that was a Super Touring problem but rather a manufacturer problem. Costs are increasing with S2000 too, as manufacturers put more and more money into it.
Escalating costs is one of the big problems with touring car racing and I don't know if there is an universal fix to it.
I don't know or eve nargue that it would be a soltion. But I would like to see a FIA-controlled touring car regulation that would be "worldwide" i:e european (NASCAR and V8 Supercar have their own success and recipe). It would be something like:
RWD
3 litre six cylindered turbocharged engines 400 BHP
chassi
a bit like a "smaller DTM" regulation wherein different manufacturers could build and develop their cars like in DTM. Maybe that could be as spectacular as DTM is and Group A was and still be cheap and also have the advantage of a wide market with racingseries with the same regulations in several countries and a WTCC-series.
