In most cases auto manufacturers will simply do it to get a "jump" on the competition... Nissan (where I work) does this with the GT-R and occasionally with the flagship models.
No one is fooled, it's like a woman saying she's 29 for ten years. But manufacturers (and women) do it anyways.
I agree that it's a bit unnecessary, but they didn't take my vote
