Holden refreshed the Caprice/Statesman lineup for the 2010 model year and gave the car a punchier engine while also changing bits and pieces to enhance the car's look.

The Caprice broke its ties with the Opel family and jumped over Atlantic to look for a more powerful sibling. Then, it returned to Australia to flex its muscles.

Holden introduced a mid-life cycle refresh for the Capric/Statesman lineup in 2003, trying to revive their executive sedan's sales.

Holden introduced the Caprice/Statesman lineup based on the same platform as the Commodore, which GM used for the Opel/Vauxhall Omega and the Cadillac Catera.
