Now that I think about it cubic isn’t really a measure of volume :
“cubic” on its own is not a measure of volume. It is an adjective that describes something related to a cube or three-dimensional space, but it requires a unit of length to provide a meaningful measure of volume.
“Meter" and “metre” are both correct spellings of the word that refers to a unit of measurement in the metric system:
“Meter” is the preferred spelling in American English, while “metre” is preferred in British English and other forms of English outside the United States.
In India, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (75 to 25). In the Philippines, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (100 to 0). In Canada, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (68 to 32). In Australia, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (68 to 32).
It’s a poor translation on my part.
Cubic tonne of metal would probably make more sense. But there is nothing cubic really in a car so I don’t know why I choose this wording.
As far as I know an heavy car is close to 1000Kg which is a Tonne in the metric system.
Cubic is a measure of volume, not mass.
Cubic isn’t a measure at all, it’s a shape.
I don’t think I said it was a mass.
I meant cubic as in cube shaped?

A cubic metre of water weighs a tonne.
If fresh water, at sea level, under certain barometric conditions and a temperature of 4 degrees, at the equator.
I’m just noticing that metre is the correct spelling in English.
Isn’t “meter” the commonly used translation?
I realize it must not be commonly used anyway with the imperial system being used in the US.

What’s your point?
His point is that you have it backwards:
“Metre” is the preferred spelling in British English, while “meter” is preferred in American English and other forms of English outside the UK.
Who’s point?
Buddy, if you can’t follow a thread, there’s probably no one here who can help you.
Some guy who uses he/him pronouns. Drag isn’t sure who that would be
