Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 528990, member: 4552"]Not really true about cars. For example when a car comes out like the first Mustang, it was called a 65 1/2. My own Malibu was supposed to be a 2005, since it was designed for 2005. Instead they called it the Malibu 2004Z. Why the Z? Know one knows. But when I need parts, I order 2005 parts. 2004 parts don't make it. Most autos come out in late Fall, not Spring of the year they are made. And again most auto makers call a car made differently from the ones of the year being made something else. Usually xxxx 1/2 or something like my Z. So that is not how it is done. The thing about the Red Book is you must realize it is being made in 2007 to be able to be realeased in 2009 and carry the name 2010. Have you ever seen a car made in say 1988 being sold in 1989 and carry a date of 1990? NO. The DMV would not allow you to register such a car.[/QUOTE]
