The Holden Commodore (VE) is a full-size car that was produced from 2006 to 2013 by Holden—the Australian subsidiary of General Motors.Dubbed Holden's "billion dollar baby", [1] [2] the car was available as the Holden Berlina—the mid-range model—and the Holden Calais, the luxury variant; utility body styles were marketed as the Holden Ute.
With the Statesman's export plans, it was decided that its launch should be simultaneous with that of the Commodore, rather than months later, as had been the convention. [41] The WM development programme reportedly cost General Motors A$190 million with another $1.04 billion devoted to the VE Commodore model which the Statesman is based upon. [42]

The range debuted alongside the smaller VE series Holden Commodore, which the Caprice shares its "Zeta" platform with, on 16 July 2006 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The WM Caprice and Statesman were an A$190 million investment, in combination with the $1.03 billion VE Commodore programme. [ 3 ]
The ZB Commodore was revealed on 6 December 2016, as a rebadged version of the Opel Insignia B. The ZB Commodore was offered with four or six-cylinder engine options, as well as front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive. That was a major departure from the V8 and rear wheel drive variants available on the previous generation Commodore.
The ZB Commodore is different from the Z18 Insignia that it is based on in its more direct and responsive Australian-specific steering, suspension and exhaust tuning, its driving dynamics and how the car feels to drive, and its 3.6-litre LGX V6 (which is not found in any variant of either the Vauxhall or Opel Insignia.)
