It's a shame that some of the selections don't seem to be mapped to the underlying data in a trustworthy way. If I do a filter on "convertibles" I get a lot of non-convertibles, which creates this tension of "did the last filter I did remove too many things that I would want to see".

Looks very nice. My only feedback so far is on the feedback tab that blocks content and is generally distracting.

If you are selecting a body style from the homepage, its possible that you are de-selecting convertibles and instead searching for everything else (since all styles are depressed by default). You are the third person to mention this, so I definitely think we have a UI issue here. We will definitely figure out a better way to present the options.

Yes. That's it.

The way you suppress listings that are "worse" than the one displayed is kind of weird to figure out, and sometimes really deceptive when the "best" deal is a $900 parts car that is masking a few $5K daily drivers.
