No Toyota Tacoma…probably the most popular truck in many US states. No Ram trucks. No Subaru WRX, nor BRZ. Really neat concept, but I wish it had more US vehicles.

The Ram is there and so is a WRX:

But you're right about the others --- this site seems to be Europe-focused.

Very cool. Is there a way to make the front and rear views overlap like the side view does?

I had the exact comment to make.

Overlapped view gives the easiest way to compare. A transparency slider might also be useful.

Going further a 3D model of cars set side-by-side on a rotatable plaform would be next step i guess though the value:complexity may not be that great. One could put a person standing next to it and make the person's height adjustable too :)

I feel like a product manager who doesn't need to care about implementation complexity :)

Whoa. For me its cookie choice box gives me one choice: agreeing to be tracked. I've never seen that, but it strikes me as pretty rude.

Actually it offers second choice if you read the text. Don't agree and lose some vertical space while using the site.

The page lists "858705 comparison combinations": https://imgur.com/a/coBCan8

For anyone who is curious what means, it means they must have 1311 cars in the database.

(1311 cars for the first choice * 1310 cars for the second choice assuming you can't compare a car against itself, divided by two since order doesn't matter. 1311*1310/2=858705.)

If anyone wants to hire me as a data scientist, my email is open :) I code Python, R, and the major languages (a bit of JavaScript, Go, whatever is needed) and am interested in AI, my latest project is here: https://github.com/robss2020/computerplayverysexymusic
