Is "wheelbase" relative or fixed?

[Francesca_Knowl]

Trying to understand the meaning of the term "short wheelbase vehicle". Looked all over the 'net and can't seem to find an answer.

I know that wheelbase itself is the distance from front-to-back wheel centers; but what defines short versus long?

Is it a matter of percentage-of-total length? Length vs. height? Amount of rear overhang? Or is it just that everything below a certain wheelbase length is considered "short wheelbase"?

Thanks for any enlightenment provided...

If a manufacturer makes a model with two different lengths, one is short and the other is long.

Here is a 'wheel base chart' (sorta).........LINK

Kinda like apples/oranges as EACH MFG. has their own.

No real definition as per.......this mean this. :B
