Supposed to be one of the cars of forensics guys. I wonder since when French police can afford such a vehicle...![[Image: evem1-001202-rangesport.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/evem1-001202-rangesport.jpg) ![[Image: evem1-001227-rangesport.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/evem1-001227-rangesport.jpg) (00:12:02 // 00:12:27) -- Last edit: 2015-01-07 21:18:10 |

Face-lift version is said to have been unveiled in April 2009. And model years of vehicles sold in France are from January to December since 2001. So unless 2010+ specific detail, shouldn't this Range have a 2009 MY? ⇒ 2009 Land-Rover Range Rover Sport [L320]? -- Last edit: 2015-01-07 23:07:57 |

It was unvieled in April, but went on sale in the fall of 2009 for the 2010 MY. |

Land Rover says, that the facelift came for the 2010 MY. And as antp replied to you, we won't make an exeption for just one country. |

As I said at that time, it could be good to see if the MY range didn't change everywhere, as the French one is said to have been changed to follow other European countries habits  -- Last edit: 2015-01-07 23:26:54 |

The thing is that car maker still introduce changes in the middle of the year, so it is more useful to continue to use old-style model year to match the moment when changes were made to the car |

I have sometimes the feeling that makes change their models more "randomly"... I understand the maintenance of habits in the IMCDb, but I also think, as already said, that we should search more seriously to know if some other countries did change their official MY range, as the 2001 French change is said to have been done "for the sake of European harmonization". This don't mean that we have to change our way of giving the MY, but we should at least know if there is a mismatch. It seems as if we're recognized as "cars experts" by more and more people, and in my mind "experts" mean accuracy, not informations based on potentially outdated data... |

After reading your post on the forum that model years are not used in France anymore, would this mean as we don't know the build year or the date of first registration we should list all French cars without any year? In the US for example such a car would be sold as a 2010 Range Rover Sport. In Germany though this would be sold as a Range Rover Sport, with first registration (Erstzulassung) in 10/2009. In both cases the car is a 2010 model year. How is it in France? |

This one will run and run and is probably never solvable because there are two schools of thought, each with their own support. So we're probably doomed to run parallel systems according to country and practice - so be it. But as a model-year-sceptic, I'd bounce this statement back and say that we do - the country is the USA and its system. It all depends which telescope people choose to use. |

I personally think that for Europe we should, if the car was indroduced in the first part of the year we still should list them at that year (as we curriently do). But if the car is introduced in the fall of the year the next year should be used. |

The translation I made may have altered the idea: in France the old system (with a mid-year MY change) is no longer used for 14 years. From what I understand of the legal text, this mean that a vehicle first sold in fall get the current year as MY in its specs. Thus the 2009 I proposed for this Range. (By the way, as 2009+ car it would be easy to know the first registration of this one if the plate number was visible. But it never occurs  )Once again, my point is not to say the IMCDb crew must change something, but we (= the IMCDb contributors) should at least try to know how the system works now, as it seems to have changed in several European countries in the last decades (see this article (fr): question "Quelle est désormais la période de référence ?"). Once aware of all the ins and outs of it, you admins will be in a better position to see if something has to be done or not. As said previously, making informed decisions is important if we're looking for some accuracy .gif ":)") |
