Thanks.

The reason I asked is that a dealer has a 2011 that shows 6/10 as the build date.

New model year production usually starts in June. Vendor's response agrees.

I don't believe they run the line dry before they start the new model. There may be a small gap but shortly after the last car of last year's model is driven off the line, it is followed by the first car of the new model year.

I had a friend who was down in BG last year and he saw that they were running some 11's early and then went back to the 10's. There were a few spaces in between the cars when a change in the year took place. I recall 6/20 is the Official Start Date for the 12's. I think thats what the dealer above stated. I sure hope the Metallic paints are available again soon...
