Help with trim system / new model year
#8
Trims are variants of a model, say for instance if you want to put a v6 and a v8 into a car, you'd use trims.

Model Years are what you use to make a complete redesign of a car while retaining the same name.

The years of the trims change based on when you design them because you can have multiple year designs of a trim. In real life for example the 2005 Pontiac GTO (Monaro) switched from the LS1 to LS2 engine without changing the chassis/body. You see this all the time (92' Caprice comes to mind)

Some of the values/settings/costs need to be tweaked, and the image data needs to be transferred (trims will get the same image as the base model, new model years will gain/loss some based off the base) . But that's it in a nutshell. In 1.10 and probably 1.11 and 1.12, They do the same thing but Model Years allow name duplication.
