Agree about driven wheels. And that's merit-based, not about satisfying a bias. A lot of folks also want domestic or import as well, no matter what. For this the tool is good, it cuts through that bias. It may even recommend a Korean car for fintail. LOL

2. Filter: Mullet/No Mullet
Thanks!!

Only if styling isn't part of the equation...

Maybe they could show you 3 photos, and you pick your preferred styling.

Did it pick well for you?Short answer: No. Not even close.
Without repeating too much of what others have posted, in order for this tool to be useful it needs to allow excluding those things that are unacceptable (in my case, manual transmissions, rear-wheel drive). And some of the criteria are vague and confusing: "Some luxury" vs. "No luxury" are in the eye of the beholder, to some degree.

“In too many cases, people choose a car for its styling or because it is a trendy favourite,” he notes. But that implies consumers can easily ignore all the subliminal signals coming from those structures in the brain that are responsible for predicting the outcome of decisions and providing emotional rewards."Difference Engine: You are what you drive (The Economist)
