Now you're just being silly, you might as well not compare anything because their names are different.Quote:

Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107, Citroen C1.
But because with your analogy a Toyota Aygo is a Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107 is a Peugeto 107 and a Citroen C1 is a Citroen C1, they can't be compared because you can't compare one species with a different species as you say.
But funnily enough all 3 cars are built by the same factory and share the same DNA underneath, yet are designed to look different, offering customers a choice, yet all 3 cars are targeted at one particular market.
But if I was to purposely leave that last bit of information regarding all three cars being the same underneath with a new skin, you would tell me they can't be compared ayes ;)
Haha Denot's analogy is more like, you have to be identical twins to be even considered Apple vs Apple. LOL!Quote:

athletes and cars are not compete to find the winner of comparison... then again M.J. is a Guard and Shaq is a Center... can you compare them using your theory? :pQuote:

Now you're telling me to compare two cars does not mean they end up competing?
V8 Supercars comparing Holden against Ford (to compete in a race)
Magazines compare cars all the time, why would they bother with laptimes, 0-100km/h, braking distances etc etc.(engage in a contest)
Aren't these numbers compared across different cars to show who reigns ontop? (to strive to outdo another)
And please, I don't compare things based on a technicality. I see Michael Jordan and Shaq as athletes, likewise I see a CTR and Golf GTi as Hot Hatches, not a CTR is a CTR and a Golf GTi is a Golf GTi.
Here i'll make another example.
There's two athlete runners. Runner A and Runner B
I want to compare Runner A and Runner B against each other to see who is better.
And in order to compare Runner A and Runner B, they'll need to compete in a race of a 100m dash to the finish, how else am I going to know who is better if they don't compete?
If you still don't think Comparing and Competing goes hand in hand most of the time, especially with cars, then I have nothing more to say.
If you compare M.J. and Shaq as athletes, then you compare CTr and Golf as cars or hot hatches or 4 wheelers or items? :confused:Quote:

So you be more specific and refer to such cars like the CTR and GTi as hot hatches, because they fit the criteria of being a hot hatch.
Ford Falcons, Holden Commodores fit the prerequisite of being family cars, and that's as specific as it needs to be.
You on the other hand, are being too specific, which makes your analogy look silly and absurd.
One would compare MJ and Shaq as athletes within the basketball genre if it needs to be more specific, but that's as far as you should go! Common sense would've told you that, instead of sitting there picking out technicalities, save that for the court room.Quote:

It's all common sense ffs.
