euro 2005 jan and dec model

[bjornzzz]

Hi, i just bought a 05' luxury model, and when i went on redbook it says that euro has two versions of 05' model, the 05' january model and 05' december model.. :confused::confused: so here i am wondering which model i've got.. i have not got the car yet, as it's on the way. the car has the 5 spoke sporty rims, which i don't know if they are 16 or 17 inch (or do they never come in 16?).. so how do i know if it's the Jan or Dec model??

The jan MY05 upgrade luxury model has 10 spoke rims, which is the same as 06 Sport or 07+ Limited Edition, body is same as 03-04 with revision to suspension, brakes, full size alloy wheels and extra 12v socket.

The dec MY05 is actually the MY06 speced facelifed version, with different style 9 spoke rims, front and rear bumper, grille, headlight, trip computer, steering wheel and optional gps.

all late month honda's are actually the next year's model.
ie all nov/dec built honda's will be the following years model code.
so a euro built in dec 05 will actually be a 06 model.

hope that makes sense..if in doubt ask anyone that works for honda :)
