I can pretty much always do make.
Model for fun cars but not boring ones/trucks/vans/suvs.
Year for the outstanding exemplary best model years of the fun ones.
Any more, cars change very little between years. Sometimes hard to tell even after a "refresh" in the middle of a generation. My kid thinks it's a superpower that I can tell the differences between generations of Corvettes. Like dude, I've had car magazines in my hands since I was half your age.
Yeah for a lot of cars (such as my own Audi a3 sportback), I'd only be able to give you a fairly wide range of years because whatever changes there were are more or less imperceptible.
Which is totally understandable, really. It makes no sense to retool every single year to make small adjustments like the 50's and 60's. That being said ford made several "generations" of mustang without ever changing the frame. I think of the last 3 full redesigns, they've all shared 2 generations of architecture. That's too long to go without updating the core of the car.
