Very cool! I just did some car shopping and compiled a spreadsheet of the various dimensions of the cars we were considering. This would have been a perfect tool for us. It's kind of hard to really get a sense of the numbers otherwise. Looks like it doesn't have a way of visualizing interiors, unfortunately.

+1 for the interiors. I'm doing car shopping right now, and this is the type of thing I've been looking for. I wanted a way to visualize the approximate height difference of sitting in the cabin of a CUV vs sedan.

I'd like to see like three different sized humans to scale in front of the vehicles to show how much or little the driver can see.

Like the way kids are invisible when they cross in front of modern American pickups and SUVs

I've found a few of these types of sites over time, and I find them pretty handy. This one gets added to the list!

There's Handgun Hero [1] for comparing ... handgun sizes, which is super handy when window shopping for something new, to compare it to something I already have.

There's Camera Size [2] which compares, you guessed it, cameras. Handy for the exact same reasons as the above. For a more technical comparison you can use DPReview's comparator [3].
