Well, honestly it's all because your statement is dealt in an absolute. Rarely does doing such a thing leave you fully correct.
In general thought you're correct. In actual evidence there's more differentiating the two than engine size, which is what I was saying "false" too. If you want to further elaborate and say "despite different engine, wheelbase, suspension, and general tuning, they were the same car." Thats acceptable. Mostly a communication error, and a bit a nerve that strikes me everytime someone calls my AE86 a Celica. A defense mechanism for both cars you might say. The oldskooltoyota nerd in me comes out and I have to correct.
