There are multiple violations of your proposed hierarchy. For example, there are models of light trucks and cars that share the same engine while two cars from the same model have different engines. Automobiles do not fit into a nested hierarchy.
This is a weak hand because the same thing occurs with evolution, it's called "homplasy".
(shakes his head and sighs smiley needed.)
Didn't you read about reversals and homoplasies? Of course there will be things that don't fit, that is because there was no actual evolution of vehicles.
The point isn't to make something perfect because there is no perfect hierarchy for evolution, it has to ignore homoplasies too, to "work". My point is you can create such a hierarchy, it isn't that there was an evolution of cars in reality.
LOL.
My original point is that we can PROVE there are similar features in vehicles, you can make many look like "transitions", which logically PROVES, that a transitional can exist with designed things. So you're trying to now make out that I have to score through goals that I don't have to score through.
My only point is you can expect transitionals ith designed things, therefore the conclusion "they can only mean evolution" is deductively a FALSE inference that doesn't follow.
