Mazda3 model years
I think I know what has caused the model year confusion.

Production of that generation started in November 2008. It was also shown at the Los Angeles Auto Show on 19 November 2008. But it looks like sales in the US and Canada (as opposed to other countries) did not start until sometime in 2009 (I am unsure of the exact date). US model year 2009 has to include 1 Jan 2009, so vehicles made after that must count as model year 2010 onward.

To sum up - Mazda3 cars sold in N.America as the 2010 model year were made from mid-2009 to mid 2010 calendar years.  Stepho  talk 00:32, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
