I've started noticing a pattern in new French cars: they're always announced and commence production (not yet on sale to the public) in the late winter or spring, the press gets to test them first in the late spring or early summer, then the brochures and general availability follow in midsummer. -- Last edit: 2024-12-22 17:43:30

Gamer ◊ 2024-12-22 22:51	But the phase I RS Limited was still introduced in January 2001 so then a latter 01? -- Last edit: 2024-12-22 22:51:48
Bux_48 ◊ 2024-12-22 22:57	I don't think, at least for cars that don't use MY in the VIN, that necessarily there has to be a single model/generation for each year? I believe in this case we could consider both IIa and IIb as 2001
AleX_DJ ◊ 2024-12-22 23:40	There is a similar issue with the Ford Focus MkII: facelift is 2008, but there are several pre-facelift ones listed as 2008 by the same decoder who states that the model years for the pre-facelift model are 2005-07
