What is this 08 or 09 thing all about?

Does this apply in the UK too? Our 09 reg is not out til next March 2009. I've ordered one to come then but is says 2008 next to the model number on the order form.

I believe that in Europe it goes by the build date. Whereas over here in the US we use model year designations. Therefore a build date of 07/06 is considered MY07 for example.

I believe it also has to do with residual values when leasing. An 09 would most likely be cheaper to lease than an 08.

Cheers!

I've ordered an 09. Why would an 09 be less expensive to lease? Please expain.
