Calendar years vs model years
Regarding your changes to Toyota GR engine. The years were labelled as calendar years, not model years. Outside of the US and areas under its influence (eg Canada), cars are normally labelled according to the calendar years (eg: in most countries a 2015 car was introduced in calendar year 2015). This is different to what is done in the US (eg: a 2015 car was introduced around Oct 2014). To avoid confusion, a plain year (eg 2015) is taken to be a calendar year and to keep US readers happy we sometimes add phrases like "In 2014, for the 2015 model year, ...". EVen better if we can put in months to make it abundantly clear that we are talking about calendar dates. For articles that are purely about American cars, made in America and sold predominantly in America, then we allow model years to be used for the benefit of US readers. But for cars made or sold internationally we use calendar years for the benefit of international readers. Thanks.  Stepho  talk 01:55, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
