In 1999, with the Chevrolet Omega B, General Motors ceased local production in favour of importing a badge engineered version of the Holden Calais, with subsequent model changes mirroring those of the Australian counterpart. The original Omega B was equipped with the 3.8 L Buick V6 engine, developing 207 PS (152 kW), but the 2005 update received a new 3.6 L Alloytec V6. The second generation Omegas were only offered as a four-door sedan (the Commodore also had wagon and pickup variants), and identical Australian-made left-hand drive models were also exported as the Chevrolet Lumina.
