Baube ◊ 2016-01-06 16:29	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_R'nessa according to wikipedia, produced from oct. 1997 to july 2001. Do we make it 1998 ( by october many cars are already sold as 1998 ) or leave it 1997 ?
Exiv96 ◊ 2016-01-06 16:41	I'd prefer 1997, but imcdb seems very attached to the concept of model years, which doesn't exist in Japan, so I've put 1998.
Sandie ◊ 2016-01-06 16:43	If Japan doesn't use the system, don't apply it.
Exiv96 ◊ 2016-01-06 17:00	Really ? I've read the opposite before. I mean, to take an example, in Japan, the Honda Mobilio was launched on December the 21st 2001, and is still considered as a 2001 car. Link to "ja.wikipedia.org" However, every Mobilio on imcdb is dated 2002, because model year, not exact year. /vehicles.php?make=Honda&model=Mobilio&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on And it's the same for the second and third gen. Toyota Vitz, and probably a few other models.
electra225 ◊ 2016-01-06 17:43	Altough I don't like the model year concept I believe it is better to use it in a unified way in order to avoid mistakes. Not only Americans but French, Scandinavians, British and occasionaly the others have used the modle year scheme...
Sandie ◊ 2016-01-06 18:09	I agree but it's not a huge problem on cars that are sold only in Japan (though sometimes imported elsewhere later in their lives) like this one.
