What I want:
User goes to site. Chooses Year, Make & Model of their car. Views then lists ONLY the products he or she will need.
I have it working to a point with taxonomy, but problem is, like the Mercedes Benz 300 D: 1976 has a different size than 1977 and up. Since I have all years down for mercedes, this one shows BOTH sizes, where only 1 is needed. But other years of Mercedes has those sizes. Need to narrow that down.
Best practices? Is there a better taxonomy module to do this? Should I even USE taxonomy, or perhaps there's a better way to do this?

taxonomy is one method. In the past a hierarchical select module was utilized. However, I'd investigate using text fields for the differentiation and generate the search with views using exposed filters.
I'm using exposed filters
I'm using exposed filters currently, but with taxonomy. Any particular hierarchical mod you recommend? The site is still in its beginnings, so I don't mind tossing in tons of mods now, if only to narrow it down for the final build.

I haven't used taxonomy for this type of feature for quite some time. Back when I did (Drupal 6), I utilized the hierarchical select module. I have no idea what the status of it or any competing modules especially where it concerns Drupal 7.
If I use Taxonomy, should it
If I use Taxonomy, should it be with product display, or on each product itself? Still having trouble getting the search right, and I'm coming up blank on ideas now. Not sure why this one is stumping me so much.
