Again, your definition of 'simple a to b commuter' varies to mine. So deal with it. You have again avoided answering my question, whether you believe it is fair to directly compare cars from different classes. You seem to have picked on my wording in the hope to avoid admitting that you are wrong. Ok fine, I'll just use the word econobox instead of 'a to b commuter' from now... So back on track: do you believe it is fair to directly compare an econobox, a 4WD, a bus, and a luxury car against each other in a COTY test? You seem to reckon it is. Most likely I'll expect you to avoid answering the question (as you know you are wrong) and pick on another word to save face lol! Geez Wheelnut, you love writing repetitive essays don’t you?

I just find funny that people get so excited over such a mediocre car as the mazda 3… and I think the Corolla sells more than the 3… Dan; if Toyota sold more Corollas than Mazda did Mazda 3s then how is it that the Mazda 3 was Australia's most popular selling car last month Surely that means that it outsold not only the Corolla but also the Holden Commodore?

Dan; if Toyota sold more Corollas than Mazda did Mazda 3s then how is it that the Mazda 3 was Australia’s most popular selling car last month

Surely that means that it outsold not only the Corolla but also the Holden Commodore?

We have both given Dan a whole dictionary of explanations and he still doesnt get it! Its just common sense, which, it seems Dan lacks. Anyways, most motoring journalists seem to agree the 3 is a great little car to drive, which i can personally attest to as well. Which is more than can be said for Dans beloved Toylexus.

As to what TYPE of car you choose depends on where you want to go or what you want to do.. beiti go racing or carry cargo etc.. conversely where you want to go or what you want to do may determine what TYPE of car you need to get there be it Hatch Sedan Ute Wagon Soft Roader 4x4 or Pick Up Limousine or even a Hearse Coupe Ute Sedan Wagon Hatch etc are specific terms which relate to a specific typpe of Car... the word car is a more genreal tem which refers to the various types of transport such as Coupe Ute Sedan Wagon Hatch etc.. it all depends on your perspective or how a-n-a-l you want to be As falcodore said: every vehicle is made to get from a to b, it just depends on wether you need to or want to or for what purpose. Surely even you can understand that as you are a supposedly an educated person [accountant] not to mention a supposed car enthusiast. I mean a real car enthuisiast is able to appreciate a wide variety ofcars for what they are; what they are etc even though its not the sort of car that they wthemselves would choose - because it doesn't wear a particular [L---s] badge or something like that Dan it doesn’t matter where A or B is the thing is a “car” will get you there.

conversely where you want to go or what you want to do may determine what TYPE of car you need to get there be it Hatch Sedan Ute Wagon Soft Roader 4×4 or Pick Up Limousine or even a Hearse

Coupe Ute Sedan Wagon Hatch etc are specific terms which relate to a specific typpe of Car… the word car is a more genreal tem which refers to the various types of transport such as Coupe Ute Sedan Wagon Hatch etc.. it all depends on your perspective or how a-n-a-l you want to be

As falcodore said: every vehicle is made to get from a to b, it just depends on wether you need to or want to or for what purpose.

To me, it means driving between home and shops. Or home and work. Or going to the gym. Econoboxes are sufficient for that. Then I might want to go up to the dunes in Lancelin, and have some fun. So I grab the 4WD and go off-roading. That is no longer simple "a to b". Then, I might want to go to Barbagallo raceway and do some track work or drift, so I grab my sports car. That is no longer simple a to b. Then, I want to go out to a wedding, or to meet the queen or something, so I take the S class luxury car to boost my social status. That is no longer simple a to b. Then, I want to go pick up some furniture so I need a transport vehicle, so I get my truck. That is no longer a simple a to b communiting either. Of course, you can feel free to take a truck to a wedding, at the end of the day it will get you from a to b literally, but it was not made for that purpose. But the point is, all cars have a differnt purpose. Of course, to a non car enthusiast like yourself, a car is simply a carriage with four wheels it seems, because you cannot grasp the simple concept of why there are different classes of cars in the first place, and you should not be comparing a truck to a limo. Phill, the GTR looks angry. Yet still sells heaps over there. You're looking too much into it hehe. You must have a different understanding of what “a to b” means then.

Because correct me if I am wrong [don't bother I am not] you said that Coupes 4x4s Sedans Utes Hatchbacks Wagons Cross-Overs etc aren't designed to get you from A to B. You said that they're used for different purposes.. Whereas I was saying that no matter what type of car you have they are all designed to get you from A to B Yet you oontinued to rave on about how different cars are used for different purposes and refused to accept my statement that they all do the same job. So I came up with a few other examples of things which despite being in sepperate categories like Sedans Coupes Utes etc - they all do the same job. Read my comments again and you will find that at no stage did I back-pedal... if anything it appears that you are back pedalling and finally agree with me - and Falcodore Dan how do you come to the conclusion that I finally agree with you?

I mean a cordless drill and a screwdriver bothhelp drive screws into pieces of wood.. [or a hammer and a nail gun] .. a circular saw and a hand saw both help cut wood.. an air conditioner and a fan both help cool you down - they are in different categorise but the do the same job... need I go on?
