Reportedly they won't be here till 2021 so given that it is unlikely Holden will exist in 2021 the answer to your question is a resounding No.

It is funny reading about everyone saying the ZB is not a Commodore but if Holden continued manufacturing in AU, the ZB would of been the car built in Adelaide.
Then it will have been a real commodore even with no V8. For me Holden lost me by shutting down Holden in Australia

The haters are having a field day but every time I get in my ZB Calais V and drive it I realise they have no idea what they're missing, which some people could say makes them the losers.

How many kms are you up to now Badge?
And how’s the oil use? Are you just changing the oil every 12000kms.
How are the air/cabin filter with that dose of nsw bushfire smoke you got recently.
Is it handling the commute to the Titirangi coffee strip ok?

9500 km's.
No oil use whatsoever.
Oil change whenever the oil life monitoring system says its time, which is quite often with all my short trips. First oil change was at 7,000 km's and having done another 2500 km's since the second lot of oil has 2/3'rds oil life left so she's doing about 7,000 - 7,500 km's on each oil change which is fine for all the short trips.

Gee that smoke was bad even in Auckland. I feel really sorry for people affected by the truly shocking fires in Australia.
Tough time on both sides of the ditch with the White Island disaster too.
Honestly these cars are a pretty good bit of kit, very good for the money.
