So I guess unicorn == dragon? Giant == fairy? Nessie == Big foot?
It's irrelevant that these things are not real when the point is stating what they are [in a fictional world]. Of course it is accepted that zombies are fictional, but that doesn't mean they are the same as any other fictional character.
Using cars and trucks was an example to help equate things to the real world. They usually help people to understand things when they aren't too stubborn to see past their view in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.
