We are as good as you at swimming. Our swimming is as good as yours. We don't make such expensive cars as you .
- We are as good as you at swimming.
- Our swimming is as good as yours.
- We don't make such expensive cars as you .

- In (1) 'as expensive' interrupts the natural grammar (make cars), which doesn't feel good.
