Is "the" needed here?
Howdy,
Should there be a "the"here?

Hi YoungCalifornian,
Is "the" not needed here because "last year's model" is specific enough and no need to go overboard with the one that is already sufficiently specific enough?
By the way, how do we describe "last year's model"? Can we call it a "phrase"?
THANK YOU.

By the way, how do we describe "last year's model"? Can we call it a "phrase"?Yes, "phrase" is fine.
