The P1 S40 was released in the middle of the 2004 model year which caused some issues with vehicle registrations in states. Some vehicle registrations will show it as a 2004.5 or 2004½ but due to computer system limitations in some localities, they may be registered as 2004 or 2005 model year vehicles.
