Very early 2008 already.

Since the 451 was introduced in March 2007, would that make 2008 the first MY?...

MB has been, for the last 25-30 years, using 800 codes in the build sheets to indicate the internal model year for the vehicle. Not every country adheres to these standards which leads to confusion.

smart is owned by MB so that is why you will see the build sheet codes.

Edit: For example the MB might be built March of 2005 then the database in that specific country would list as a 2005. However MB might have code 806 present which therefore tells us the car is in fact a 2006 MY built early on in the run.

According to Wikipedia it was in November 2006

World premiere in Stuttgart November 9, 2006, but in stores March 2007 presumably.

According to ADAC, introduced April 2007:

so I was off by a month.

Look, I don't like wars, world hunger or Mustang model years either, but if it's got RPO code 08 and this one was built April 2007, then a mass change is in order…

When I become Emperor Of The World, one of my first decrees will be that the earliest a MY can begin is July of the preceding year - no exceptions. Not even for nonsense VINs.

Abolishing wars and world hunger are also on the to-do list, along with traffic wardens, nettles, wasps, bus lanes, booking fees, and Manchester United.

abolishing wasps alone makes me give you my vote.. ;)
