>I don't know of any CS2 cars that were fuel injected??
No, CS2 means carburetor. When they went to FI they changed the designation to CS0.

Re: Model year cycle
At the end of the day FIAT is not that much differnt with respect to model year than any other manufacturer. As far as the options, wiring, vin matching the series.... well that adds to the mystery of what Geno and Luigi were doing on the factory floor that day. What I would give to tour a FIAT factory in the 60's or 70's. The company I work for buys thousands of vehicles each year. The 2014 model year cars start showing up at distrabution points in June 2013. I have no doubt some of those import vehicles may have been produced as early as Feb/March 2013 in order for them to be delivered to an end user by June 2013. Today things are much different with respect to distrabution networks, inventory control and money management. Money sitting is metal is money that can not be used in the business. we are looking at the model year of these cars through todays lense. Take a jump back 30+ years ago and it seems completely reasonable that a car produced at the factory in January or February of 1979 might be branded as a 1980 model year and cause confusion with respect to model and series related to year.
