As per the website, one of Husqvarna’s two managing directors, Reinhold Zens, said “I can tell you that they will come as 2017 models. They may not look the same. A concept is, after all, a designer’s dream, while a finished model must follow rules and regulations, but they will definitely have the same style.”
