Tips on Buying Cars: new cars arrival at dealers, audi volkswagen, december 26th

Question
When do the new model year cars usually arrive at dealers, and particularly Audi, Volkswagen, and Subaru?  Thank you.

Answer
Traditionally, car manufacturers have introduced the new model-year vehicles from late September to early-to-mid October.  Ford often introduces important new models on December 26th.  But anything goes nowadays, which is good and bad.  No one really knows when a new model comes out anymore; they introduce them when they're ready.  But that means that the pressure to have a model ready by October 1st is off; they wait till the bugs are worked out before bringing it to market.
