Modify Car to allow not for sale cars.

Current car schema properties are designed around vehicles offered for sale, but this does not help OEM car providers or websites about cars in general. Would like to see support for properties like MSRP, Towing capacity, Trim levels, horsepower, EPA estimated city and highway (and a standard method for reporting this) etc. Break out "year, make model, trim" into separate properties rather than just all part of the "name" - as that may be different in some instances.

There are tons of auto manufacturer sites and vehicle review sites that would like to leverage a Car schema but Car isn't currently working. Google is already pulling much of this information off of pages without using schema.

Thanks @thehockeygod. Some of the properties you mention are already supported by schema.org. MSRP can be expressed by http://schema.org/priceType and horsepower by http://auto.schema.org/enginePower. http://auto.schema.org/modelDate describes the release date of a vehicle model. Trim levels cannot be easily captured in schema.org (of course you can play with http://schema.org/vehicleInteriorType, http://schema.org/color etc). Towing capacity and other properties you mention should be added either to auto.schema.org hosted extension or to auto external extension we are working on now (see https://www.w3.org/community/gao/).
