"We are going to the car."

Translation: Wir gehen zum Auto.

what's the difference between zu and aus

[stepintime]

They don't really have much in common.

"zu" = to (we go to the car), closed (the shop/window is closed), too (it's too cold)

"aus" = out of (I take it out of the fridge), from (I am from Germany), [turned] off (the radio is off), over (the show is over)

"Wir gehen zum Haus" = "We go to the house"

"Wir gehen aus dem Haus" = "We go out of the house"

Whats wrong with "Wir gehen nach Auto"

[Kathrin978932]

We don't say "wir gehen nach ..." when you're talking about a specific place, we always say "wir gehen zu ...". If the place you're going to is a name, it's without the article:

Wir gehen zum Supermarkt
Wir gehen zu Susanne

Wir gehen zur Post

Having said that, some people do use "nach" when they should use "zu". Bad German though.

I think you are missing "the" article

Why not " Wir gehen zum Fahrzeug?"

[Kathrin978932]

Because a "Fahrzeug" is a vehicle, not necessarily a car. I think some people do prefer "Fahrzeug" when talking about their car, so it's not really wrong. A common abbreviation is "Kfz", stands for Kraftfahrzeug - powered vehicle.
