People often misuse the word "vintage" to denote old. This is because wine is aged prior to being sold and good wine is never sold the same year it is produced. Therefore, the vintage is the year the grapes were harvested, pressed and bottled.
It is correct to say that your new Shield is a 2017 vintage. Another way to say it is, "My Shield is of the 2012 model year." It's just easier to say, "It's a 2012 vintage Shield." It doesn't mean it's old.
Back to your regularly scheduled thread.
