Why bother? What's the advantage of calling this car a "2012" car?
It probably started with a battle between US manufacturers to get their models out first. So if Ford released in January, GM would do it in December to beat them to the new model year. Eventually, it settled out to roughtly September-October when models for the next year are available.
