Nope - it's a worldwide thing - I ordered a 2000 model here, but they ran
out, and I got the 2001 spec at the 2000 price, and it's also got the silver
wheels.

Hmm - their dyno's haven't been calibrated recently against any sort of
standard - would be my guess - not to mention that they could vary depending
on running in standards (or lack of them!)
