I think this "model year" business is getting way ahead of itself. :R
The designated model year and the actual calendar year are loosing their relationship just as the F-150, 250, etc. series have departed from half ton, three quarter ton, etc. designation.
Actually, the model year business is the same as it's ever been... An automobile manufacturer can only sell a particular model year across one January 1st. For example, Ford sold the '97 model year F150 January 2nd of 1996 to somewhere in August or September of 1997, and the 1996 model along-side it from mid-95 to the end of 1996, all while re-tooling all three plants to make the new truck. They did it again with the 2003 model year truck, selling the 2004 'Heritage Edition' along-side the then-new 2004 trucks.
