DynaMike ◊ 2012-05-15 00:25	It's always been a cause of discussion how to list the years of the cars, but since German car manufacturers usually presented their next years range in August (after summer holiday) we use these model years instead of actual building years. Same for American cars made after the summer holidays, and British and French cars made from October on. Aber recht schönen Dank für die wunderbaren Photobeiträge
