That's how many generations in automobile development?


Depends on the country. Seems to be about 6 for Japanese makes. Appears to be 0
for British cars -- they all died off.

Corky was talking about French cars. I haven't seen a new one in this country
since 1979, so I have no idea what they're like now. The last one I saw in
Germany (a Renault in 1989) smoked almost as badly as a Traubant.

Because she smells like a new truck.
