Read again, they were referring to the introduction of the 5.7L.

Looking back 10 years, GM Holden says its percentage of V8 sales has more than doubled. They dipped between 2000 and 2005 but demand recovered quickly with the introduction of the latest 5.7 V8.

The 5.7 was available in that period (for about 8 years), but after 2005 (the dip was between 2000 and 2005) the 6.0 was available in VZ models which to me would be the latest V8.
