For example the VW Golfs have chassis numbers beginning Mk followed by a roman numeral and then some are further followed by an F to signify a facelift e.g. MkI, MkIF, MkII, MkIIF and so on. BMW are also a good example of this with their familiar E number codes e.g. E36 being the chassis code for the 3 series.
For looking online, what makes the civic even more complicated is that there are different versions of the same generation civic for the US and Europe. For example, here is a picture of a US 8th generation civic!

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but that pic is a Canadian Acura CSX and NOT what a US 8th gen civic looks like. My avatar is a pic of my 8th gen US civic and if you'd like more pics, just search my username and you can find my car
