The Holden Epica was the name under which Holden marketed the Daewoo Tosca, a mid-size car designed by Daewoo in South Korea, in Australia and New Zealand. Since April 2007 the Tosca was marketed as the Holden Epica for those markets, replacing the Holden Vectra sourced from Opel in Germany, and Holden dropped the Epica in 2011 because of weak sales. Codenamed V250, the Tosca replaced the Daewoo Magnus and was designed entirely in house, unlike the earlier Leganza and Magnus models that Giugiaro styled. It was noteworthy for being available with transversely mounted straight-six engines, designed by Porsche, which distinguish it from other similar cars, and GM announced a 2.0 litre common rail turbodiesel for early 2007.
