Pretty sure that was listed in the announcement months ago when we first heard about it. Before X date built cars, they'd include a new ECU. Not sure what that's all about though. Why do the newer cars have a different ECU for the same engine putting out the same power with the same features, is anyone's guess.

Maybe it's some conspiracy that the MY2013 cars with the new ECU have less power and they want the 2012s to get the new ECU so the ppk actually increases power! /end crazy conspiracy talk
