Now, it is possible to build a select "few" cars for retail sale in December, 2005, and thereby call it a 2006 model year, but that is somewhat like playing games, and is certainly not intended for the Sky.

The Sky has always been intended as a 2007 Model Year car, AFAIK.
When did it become a law? I know of many cars that have been introduced after the first of the year that were either called 1/2 year models or just the same year as the current cars... I just wonder when this became a LAW? i thought it was manufactures discression if they called it the next year model or not... i know they can't calla car sold in 2005 a 2007 model , but i never heard that you couldn't call a car coming out in 2006 a 2006 model...
