Generally you can pretty accurately estimate the years (and make) of cars, due to the design preferences of the time

A 2003 Toyota Tacoma is very recognizable because of the simple and bubbly design a lot of late 90's and early 2000's cars had (coincidentally my least favorite time period of car design)

Of course there's also just a lot of stuff you pick up by seeing a car you don't recognize, researching it, and mentally noting the differences for the next time you see one!
