[edit] Weight?

Shouldn't weight be mentioned for these? --Interiot 15:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

It certainly should. I'll see when I can find the time, of course, feel free to beat me to it ;-) Regards, Signaturebrendel 17:14, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vans

Under most legalities, fullsize vans are considered light trucks, so shouldn't they be included? Ahanix1989 04:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

They should. Add them if you could. Signaturebrendel 05:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] scope

I clicked the link to this article and expected to see some riverboats or something. Shouldn't this be "list of longest consumer road vehicles in the US?" Since the US doesn't generally discriminate against large vehicles, maybe this is a worldwide list and we can drop the geographic qualification altogether. Potatoswatter 08:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

We use the title of "passenger vehicles" as "cars" would exclude pick-ups and SUVs. As for the geographic scope-you're right we could drop the "in the US." But then we would need to do a bit more research on what the world's largest cars are. Signaturebrendel 17:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I said nothing about cars. Passenger vehicles includes boats, airplanes, and buses. Potatoswatter 00:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
But this article just deals with cars, SUVs and pick-up trucks. Signaturebrendel 01:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
In other words, consumer road vehicles. Potatoswatter 08:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Exactely. Signaturebrendel 17:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Units

Are inches the most sensible unit to have length in? Surely there should be a metric conversion in there as the majority of the world --Greatestrowerever 15:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Three countries have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Liberia, Myanmar and the United States.

You're absolutely correct. We should have metric measurements on here! Unfortunately I have not been able to force myself to convert all the US-measurements into international norms - it's one hell of a tedious taks! But I've you're up to it - go fot it!

Done, to 2sf i think this is enough, --Greatestrowerever 18:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
