    very good point you make Jorge.
    It is not the length but how it is used.

    My guess with cars and houses is they would have been ‘reserved words’ for many years so the first movers in these industries had to choose other domain names. These words became available through the domain auction a few years ago but by then the major brands were already established.

    you are right – it is super hard to play catch up in an established market.
