Every new bodystyle is considered a generation in auto-speak. The best example of this is in the corvette... I'm sure you've heard the term C5 or C6, which would be 5th or 6th generation Corvette. Remember... all new, not just a refreshening or an update.
Generation refers to model year ranges for a given body platform. It's nothing new. They have been referred to by generation designations for decades.
1st gen. 1967-1969
2nd gen. 1970-1981
3rd gen. 1982-1992
4th gen. 1993-2002
5th gen. 2010-
1st gen. 1967-1969
2nd gen. 1970-1981
3rd gen. 1982-1992
4th gen. 1993-2002
5th gen. 2010-

Because many of the new cars, are new generations/evolutions of previous models.
Camaro, for example, has had 4 distinct versions. Each of these is referred to a generation. It makes it easier to define the body style/car. For example, instead of saying my 1982-1992 era Camaro, it's just a Third Generation.
The newest, makes Generation 5.
These terms have been around for ages, it's nothing new. Look at Corvette. A mid 70's is called a C3. The first set, was C1. And that was in the 50s. Same idea.
