My point is, what is the /cars URL (without the query string) going to

/cars will return all car resources (i.e unconstrained) the query string
will simply constrain the result set.
Right, and if that's the use case, then I support you. ;)
That's the same philosophy I use when deciding to query string or not.
Again, I look at it from "required" parameters to as you put it
"constraints" (or possibly "filters") on a result set.
I assume, that you therefore have a url that looks like this?
/car/{$make}/{$model}/{$year}/
And that your "search" list as returned from /cars will have links to
individual car resources like the above?
Just curious.
