this car or that (one)

Question

Regarding the following two sentences:

1. Which is more expensive, this car or that?
2. Which is more expensive, this car or that one?

I found Sentence 1 in a study guide recently. I think that Sentence 2 is quite normal, but that Sentence 2 sounds odd. What do you think?

I think the second sentence is OK.

Thank you for your answer, Tamguatlay.
Sorry. I meant to say,"What do you think about Sentence 1?"

Tamguatlay · Answer

I think both sentences are fine.

Seagull · Answer

I understand.
Thank you so much.

BarbaraPA · Answer

Personally, I find the version without "one" less natural.
This one or that one?
Which of these two cars is more expensive? -- Another option.

Seagull · Answer

Thank you for your answer, BarbaraPA.
I've learned a lot.
