Gongora ◊ 2022-02-03 01:15	The 210 appears to the public in november 1957, so I think is best to listed thw 210 as 1958 model
Lateef ◊ 2022-02-03 11:45	I would normally agree, but there's also other side of the story called "Japan doesn't use model years". I personally think that the latter argument can be ignored if there are only 2-3 months left of the calender year upon introduction of a new model.
Gongora ◊ 2022-02-03 16:04	Yes. I also think that the years should be more realistic with Asian and European cars. If a Panhard PL17 appeared in the summer of 1959, appears in a 1959 movie, it seems absurd to me to say that it is a 1960 model. This should only apply to American cars. In this case, they changed the model 2 or 3 months after the end of the year
