Im not sure why mm was chosen to be the unit of measurement for vehicles in the R&D and Vehicle Showroom.
I just linked a SC for another thread, incase you dont remember what im talking about here.
I can understand this being used for smaller objects, like engines, but it seems like a strange unit to use for an entire vehicle.
Usually the measurement in in at least the thousands, so usually in my mind i have to convert it to CM or M to make any sense of it.
If there was importance in having an exact mm measurement, to one decimal place, then i could see the reason behind it, but i dont see that here.
Im also wonder whether perhaps there is some precedent for having the vehicle sizes in mm in the vehicle/motor industry, but again, i dont really see the benefit here.
Ill make a poll, see if people agree/disagree with me.
