The Holden Commodore (VN) was a full-size car built by Holden from 1988 to 1991, the first iteration of the second generation of the Australian made Commodore, which had previously been a mid-size car, and the first Commodore offered as a coupe utility. Released on 17 August 1988, it was a re-engineered hybrid of the Opel Omega and Opel Senator, a project that cost about A$200 million, with a widened and stretched VL floor pan that let it match the Ford Falcon for size. Power came from a Buick V6 engine, built locally in Holden's own variant of the Buick LN3, with the 5.0 litre Holden V8 optional, and the Series II of September 1989 used the EV6 engine. It was rebadged as the Toyota Lexcen, and 215,180 were built before production ended in September 1991.
