I've seen more than one completely burned out c900 in local wrecking yards, something that concerns me a little since I have no information as to the cause. > But back to the difference.

Virtually every car on the road has an internal combustion engine and a transmission with gears, that's like saying that all humans have a brain (debatable), a liver and a heart, but with both examples the differences between specimines is vast.
