Model year update please help

Been eyeing some of the 2012 to 2016 GT recently because the price seems to be very good.

Can the expert here help me out on the model year difference?

I know the 3 spoke steering wheel start appearing at around 2010 -2011... and 2012 seems to have a new bumper and fender... when exactly the near style taillight comes in ? OR exactly the face-lift completed

thanks in advance... hopefully can join the group soon

For the US, the years listed in parentheses are shifted up 1 year. For instance, the wiki states “(2018-present)” for 3rd generation, but in the US that started with model year 2019.

Yes, release dates always vary slightly per country.

The 2013 GT and GTC North American models starting at around vin number 82575 have the 8 speed transmission the chrome around the tail lights and the engine designation on the front fenders that I am aware of.
