I never understood how automakers got away with releasing a vehicle in the current calendar year and called it a model year in which the entire planet does not yet live and breathe. but do you really have a 2019 if it's 2018 AND then when calendar year 2019 rolls around they release a 2020 model....? lol nahhhhh. you don't. it's when it was built.
someone explain the phenomena to me please.
