My 2006 E350 wagon has a sticker with the manufacture date noted of January 2005 but it is titled as a 2006 model. Some additional paperwork notes that it was truly manufactured the first week of January 2005.

This seems very early to be manufacturing an item that normally would not be actually sold for 6 or 7 months???
