Watched a car commercial yesterday advertising 2017 plates which led me to wonder why a car manufacturer would be selling crockery?

We can never understand how car dealers can be advertising & selling MY18 cars back in late 2017. We thought MY meant Manufactured year?

Probably for the same reason that everything ends in $990 DD In the "good ol days" everything was in guineas, one pound one shilling. Now I am really going backwards!!!

MY in vehicles stands for Model Year. It's a US thing. The Yanks have their annual plant closedowns in September (we do it in January). When they start back up again in October any new, newly modified (re-tooled) vehicles are then called the next MY. The Press release is even earlier in the year. Like now . Vehicles are being called MY2019 for release in the US in October.

G'day all,

Thanks for that, we've learned something.
