Star plots are used to show multivariate data for one topic. This star plot shows different aspects to a car and places values on each one according to where it's located on the plot. According to the plot, "cylinders" at the end of the radius represents the cylinders of the most powerful car. The blue block (the star plot) then shows us where the car we are looking at falls along that radius. This is useful to people because they can look at one product and compare how it rates to the best product on the market.
