I realize that AutoTrader's not a popular option when there are sites like Craigslist and Kijiji as well as aggregate search sites like AutoTempest, but I'd still like to hear everyone's opinions if they've chanced across this beta. I'm particularly keen on the ability to search for specific trim levels.

This has been popping up increasingly often as of late when I visit the site.

Here are some examples of results searched in the beta - the layout of the individual listings themselves is unchanged, as far as I can tell. Once you have some results, you can check off multiple trim levels of different cars to search for and edit your results on the fly instead of backtracking by clicking "Modify Search". It seems to be useful if you're cross-shopping between new/used cars and want to narrow it down further - for example, you can specify the Accord EX-L and Camry XLE if you're looking at loaded examples of used Accords and Camrys, or you can look at the Mustang V6 Premium and Camaro LT without needing to sift through Mustang V6 Base or Camaro LS listings.

Used it searching for a 2008 Nismo 350Z...It's a little confusing at first but I got the hang of it.
