When I think of cars I usually picture a particular brand, model and year. for example, the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California SWB Spyder which sold on May 18, 2008 for a record $10,994,400 at R.M. auctions. Or how about the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, with 638 horsepower priced at $103,000 which may be the best value for the money sports car in the world. Or even the new 2009 Mini John Cooper Works which might be the most fun you can have for $29,200.
However when we think of automobiles like the Honda Accord a specific model and year do not come to mind as much as which generation is it? That's right, not the particular year of an Accord? We think of a particular group of years for changes in the Accord, and not the specific year.As you may know 1976 was the first year of the Accord, and appropriately this was the start of the first grouping, which lasted until 1981. 2008 introduced the eighth group. Wow! Eight generations of cars in 32 years or on average a new major model change every four years. So it might be until 2012 when we see the ninth grouping.
