Hey, this is how it is: It's the year 2000, and in about 6 months,
2001-year-model cars are going to be on the road. It's always been like
that.
I'm not sure this is entirely accurate for the A1 and perhaps some of the
A2 VW's. In fact I have heard from a very reliable source that for much of
the earlier H2O VW's they work the other way... Cars produced in early
1990 (like my car) might be licensed as '89 models (like mine is). My car
was built Jan 1990 and is registered as an '89. The '90 GLI's may not have
been available until some time into the 1990 calendar year. VW apparently
changed this policy to favor the more industry-wide standard sometime
mid-90's ??? Can anyone verify this?
This would explain the existence of '86 16V cars, which might have actually
been built in very early '87 or very late '86.
