>It's ridiculous: Put a modern SUV next to a WW2 M4 Sherman and you will be surprised, the SUV is the same size. Some a bigger.
That would be what normal people would call a "bold faced lie" in normal conversation and is only above average levels of misleading compared to what's typical around here (which reflects upon the character of the people on HN, IMO).
A sherman is approx same length as the biggest modern SUVs but wider, taller and 10x the weight.
You may as well compare rowing shells to fishing vessels.
An M4 Sherman is about 6m long which production SUVs don't reach. That's about the length of an L3 delivery van, which is usually the longest version they make.
The M4 is 2.6m wide. No car is 2.6m wide. That's wider than a coach bus.
The M4 is 3m tall. Even the fattest SUVs do not come close.
