We added a way to filter the list of cars by engine type and/or body style.
When you're browsing cars, you can click the new filter link to bring up two menus:

You can select an engine type and/or body style for that model, and click apply filter to narrow the listings on the page to just those matching cars. Here's what the menus look like:

In this example, the Honda Civic page has been limited to hybrids, so you can see averages across Civics with that type of engine. The number listed after the engine or body style type in the menu is the number of matching cars with that type of engine or style alone. (Not a combination of the two.) That might be confusing at first, but it should give you sense of the most popular engines/styles for that model.
You can also click hide filter if you have the filter menus open and you'd like them to go away.
As always, let us know here about any problems with the new filters. Thanks!
