[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 694176, member: 52914"] No, no, no. You guys got it all wrong. A Mini Cooper and, say, a Unimog are truly comparable. Both have 4 black pneumatic tires, both have doors, both have steering wheels, both have seats and both are powered by an internal combustion engine. If those vehicles aren't two from the same mold, I dunno what would be. TJR- I think, for the most part, Edmunds uses the EPA classification for a broad sorting of vehicles. The EPA looks at interior space and platform to classify vehicles. When the Bentley Continental T was still in production, considered by many a large, luxury coupe, was classified as a sub-compact by the EPA. Of course, for detailed break-downs, Edmunds considers price, amenities, and capabilities. They wouldn't classify a Crown Vic and a F-150 in the same category because that's just silly. One is clearly a car and one is clearly a truck. Just as Edmunds wouldn't classify a Ferrari 612 and a Mustang together. While both are 2+2 coupes, one is a luxury filled car with the latest and greatest in race tested technology, while the other is a "performance" car filled with the latest and greatest technology from the 1940's.
