Yep. It's an "S" alright. Very interesting, I never would've guessed. So that means it could've been on the dealer's lot by July 1994 or so; pretty early for a 1995 model. I don't recall seeing next year's model on dealer's lots by early-to-mid-summer, always thought it was around August-September that the first ones would trickle in. Thanks for the replies. I guess model year means "about."
