The same way every car manufacturer does

I don't think there's a single manufacturer that doesn't follow the process of the model year being out the previous calendar year.

When it's a "New" model...>>

which the 225 was...

Sure that isn't a build date? (door sticker)...two different things..

What I haven't figured out is why the '09 Nissan Murano is on the market in March when it's just a Re-do...

When I worked for Chrysler, model year changeover occurred in the summer.

Let's say July, so 01's would be built from July 00 through July 01.

April 00 is kind of early for an 01, but maybe Audi did their changeover in April ?

Doesn't in-service refer to the time when the car is actually in use ? I take it dougie wasn't the first owner ?
