That’s an American disease that ended-up spreading everywhere … they all tried to release the “new model” earlier & earlier, to not lose-out to The Competitors. If a new model gets released after about June these days, it’s the “next year’s model”.I do find it strange though that the VF where built from mid 2013 but they are not classed as 2013 models they are classed as MY14.
Americans tend to talk about American cars as “model years”, a 1971 Dodge Dart is model-year 1971, probably made from 9/70 to 9/71 … there was probably an internal model-code such as when we refer to a VF or a VE or an XD or an EA or an HQ here, but to car-folk over there it’s all about the Model Year & I’ve never seen those model-codes for a US car (apart maybe from Heeps - but they’re trucks, not cars).
